Hi
I got a waterprofile i want to use in beersmith but I have a question about Alkalinity.
Here a few details.
Calcium - 13.5mg Ca/l
Alkalinity - 16.4mg CaCO3/l
Alkalinity - 14.1mg HCO3-/l
What I get confused about is that it list Alk 2 times. If i use HCO3 in BeerSmith it show "Alkalinity 12 ppm as CaCO3" is that correct? I mean the water report list Alk for CaCO3 and the value I get from BeerSmith is not the same as the water report. Maybe they are not quite the same thing? Should i be considered?
