Water PH

[G-Mister Brew]

Hi all,
I'm gearing up to brew my first extract beer (Oatmeal Stout) and wonder if the PH of my water is suitable for brewing. I have two sources for water on my property, a well and a spring. I tested both for PH with the following results. Well PH = 7.6, Spring PH = 6.9. Is there anything else I should test for before attempting to brew?
Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it for an extract brew. At least for a while. If you really want to know about your water get a report from Ward Labs...

There is a lot of other stuff to worry about with brewing before your water. If it tastes ok to drink you should be good to brew with it.
