Water profiles

[nigel_c]

I've been doing research on water and purchased a nice shiny gram scales and all the relavent water treatment bits and bobs.
Lots and lookin around and the interweb and I stumbled onto this document of water profiles for different city's.
Might be a handy resource for anyone seriously into their water.

Nigel might i ask did you purchase any water test kits and if so which ones ?

No I decided to go RO and build water profiles to what I want. Will probably end up using my standard water for most of my recipes but water chemistry is something I'd really like to get my head around.

I'm getting an ro system fitted on Tuesday.  In an unrelated matter, I'm doing a pilsner on Wednesday

How much are they, for something small and slow that might take a day to fill a hlt ?

Twas 120 from Celtic water solutions. It's a 10 liter tank and takes about an hour to fill so a bit of forward planning is all that's needed

Doing a bit of research for an IPA I'm planning and came across the water profile for Pliny the Elder.

CA   MG      NA      HCO3   SO4       CL
76   13      9      26           133       56

Starting with RO I think this is going to be my go to big ass IPA water profile.
