So I'm messing around with my water, It hurts my head but I'm muddeling through the Water Book and I want to make sure I'm getting it right. So for a German Pilsner does this look good for a water profile? Thanks

Is that your starting tap water? If so, I hate you

That is so close to RO/distilled, you could pretty much build it up to anything.

I'm no expert but that's pretty close to mine. I have a little bit more Sulfate in mine since I like to accentuate the hop bitterness a little more for a German Pilsner.

They say the WA is pretty close to RO, they're not kidding!

I would also boost the sulfate up a bit.

Go east of the mountains and the water is completely different

Yup, that's straight from the well. Cool thanks for the feedback. I'll make some adjustments.

Yep, our water is awesome.

Don't forget that the profile will be different in Aug/Sept.
Best to get the profile a few times so that you know how it changes due to seasonal rain/snowfall.

That's when BDawg and all his friends get drunk and piss in your well

Thanks, this is a very recent test I had done. I plan on having it tested quarterly until I have a predictable baseline.
