Title: Is there a brewer's table of water reports ?
Post by: bigvalen on September 23, 2016, 11:08:50 PM

Seeing as Fingal's report is a bit...weak, do we have a table of people's contributed water reports ?

I suspect most of north-dublin's water comes from the same place. All I know is mine is too hard for lager..

Myself and James had our waters tested and I also included the club well!

Are they mains water, or local wells? Confused...

It was paid for in a group buy by individuals so not appropriate to be shared with everybody, the data is 12 months old now so not sure how much validity it even has at this point.
Ask somebody you know at the next meet you attend locally and see whether they will help you out

Wasn't it just that some people didn't see why they should pay and then share it for liggers?

If it's out of date, I don't mind getting one done for the area. Though, might be easier just to go RO instead.

Aye, then all scared that it might be out of date...do water sources change that often?

Simple answer is NO.

Malahide water comes from the main Bally-Eustace reservoir but in times of drought [ffs - when in this rain soaked country ? ?] is often topped up with water from deeps wells from Bog-of-the-Ring
