Got a water test from Ward's - pretty quick turnaround. Definitely recommend.

Compared to the hard nasty water I had when living in Phoenix, this water appears very soft.

Can anyone give me a heads up on what types of beers would be good with this?

From my limited knowledge, it looks like I could create almost any type of water with the addition of salts - it appears to be very soft.

Code:

ph                      7.0
Total Dissolved Solids   85
Sodium                   24
Potassium                (not detected/below detection limit)
Calcium                   3
Magnesium                (not detected/below detection limit)
Total Hardness, CaCO3    12
Nitrate                  0.3 (SAFE)
Sulfate                   6
Chloride                 22
Carbonate                (not detected/below detection limit)
Bicarbonate              30
Total Alkalinity         24
Total Phosphorus          1.04
Total Iron               (not detected/below detection limit)


Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.14
Cations / Anions, me/L 1.2 / 1.2


Thank you,
perogi.

Soft? You could stuff a pillow with that water. Wink , but it does definately give you playroom with salts for many styles. As it stands, you are pretty close Pilsen.

Thanks Ben for the reply.

After I posted this, I went into my books and checked out some water style information. Unfortunately, I couldn't delete my original post. Smile

Too bad the Na and Cl are a bit high (relatively) - shouldn't be too difficult to balance it with the right salts though.

Found the water profile for my college down (Tempe, AZ):

Code:

ph                      8.0
Total Dissolved Solids   ?
Sodium                   190
Potassium                (not detected/below detection limit)
Calcium                   64
Magnesium                21
Total Hardness, CaCO3    246
Sulfate                   118
Chloride                  1
Carbonate                (not detected/below detection limit)
Bicarbonate              172
Total Alkalinity         141


No wonder I started with RO water!
