Fairly similar to my well water.  Gotta love it when it works out like that, huh?

Haha I’m not complaining, that’s for sure. I lived in Florida years ago and it was a nightmare compared to what I have now.

Looks a lot like mine in Seattle.

So jealous - I had to go with an RO system to get about where you guys start!

New to water adjustments. Thoughts on this report?
the SO4 number is actual--should it be multiplied by 3?
(I like malty stouts and hoppy IPAs)
Thanks!

Looks like you'll need some acid to neutralize the alkalinity, but otherwise doesn't t look bad.

Thanks Denny!. I've lurked around here for several years and have always appreciated your expertise. (and your Rye IPA recipe}

SO4-S would need to be multiplied by 3, but it is something less than 1, which is very low. Don't bother with it.

Your report is similar to mine from western Kentucky.  I'm not an expert but for brewing lagers I add 50% distilled H20 and it works ok for me. For dark beers I use straight tap H20. I use Beer Smith for mineral adjustments and it seems to works well.
