Brewlab kit and Bru'n Water Question
« on: August 03, 2016, 02:50:15 pm »
Greetings friends,
So I've been building from Distilled for a couple of years using Martin's spreadsheet and I grew tired of buying bottled water. So next arrives my Lamotte Brewlab kit. Most of it seems pretty straight forward, as best I can tell but I have a question regarding TOTAL HARDNESS. I do not see a place to enter this number into the water report on the spreadsheet. Is the Total hardness more a means of calculate Mg levels?

Thanks for any help ;)

Brunwater calculates Total Hardness. I think you can use the calculated value to check other numbers from your report.

PS. This page has a nice table on calculating various values from other water report values.
