Neipa water profile

liamf89 · May 31, 2017

Hi I don't have my water profile and this is only info I can get online from water company without having to test water myself(see image). Was just wonder could I just add some chloride and/or sulphate to improve my Neipa without the water profile is there like a ball park figure what to add that can improve the hop flavour and aromas in this style..

Was actually looking about water website found total hardness (as ca) 43 is that figure you were looking for

I'm not an expert on water chemistry but that seems to be the number in calcium ions.

You can find a good article on water chemistry "Water Knowledge" on Martin Brungards page: https://sites.google.com/site/brunwater/

There is also a free version of the brewing water calculator If you enter your numbers there you will get a complete picture.

Is residual chlorine same as residual hardness found a figure of 0. 1mg/l for it do I have enough information there to build my water profile
