Hi,
I am looking for some advice,I have decided to go all grain and have read all of palmers advice but I cant seem to get my head around water chemistry.
My water report is 115 ca
53 mg
69 na
184 so
490 CaCO3
My initial idea was to buy a r/o machine and dilute the tap water with 50% r/o water which brings the magnesium and calcium down but still leaves the hardness way too high for pale ales.My question is am I stressing too much over it or is there a way to get the water ideal for a pale ale.I dont really want to go down the botlled water route.
Thanks in advance
Lee
