Grimsby Water Analysis
I contacted Murphy & Son Ltd and asked if they would process a water analysis on the tap water for Grimsby.
This they agreed to do for me and below are the following results and suggested treatments to make our tap water ideal for beer making.
LABORATORY REPORT
Your Description & Mark Liquor
Our Laboratory Number CJF 1683
Appearance CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID FREE FROM SUSPENDED AND SEDIMENTED SOLIDS.
pH Value 7.8
A N A L Y S I S
Calcium as Ca 48 ppm
Magnesium as Mg 4.8 ppm
Carbonate as CO3 110 ppm
Sulphate as SO4 168 ppm
Chloride as Cl 33 ppm
Nitrate as NO3 19 ppm
Alkalinity as CaCO3 184 ppm
Total Hardness 140 ppm
For MURPHY & SON LIMITED.
Please find enclosed the results for the analysis of your liquor sample;
therefore I suggest the following regimes for brewing bitter styles.
AMS@0.2pt/brl(112.5ml/brl), to be calculated with respect to the volume of water to be treated and added to the liquor tank.
All water used for brewing should be treated including any sparge or breakdown liquor.
DWB@4.5oz/brl(127g/brl), calculated with respect to the brew-length, to be mixed in with the grist.
This works out to be 0.69ml per Ltr for AMS and 0.77g per Ltr of DWB.
