Take a look here: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/water-adjustment?page=4

Specifically the section "My municipality can't provide me my water mineral numbers / I'm on a well."
It'll link to a company that will give you all that you need to know, or give options to test yourself.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Make sure to give my entire WATER ADJUSTMENT article a read - there are a lot of other common questions answered that usually come up!
