Good values will be blue and poor values in yellow (borderline) or red (out of range). First, the small colored balls next to the water ions gives you a visual indicator of whether these ions are in the “good” range for brewing. Basic Water AnalysisīeerSmith 2.3 and higher includes water analysis tools for a water profile. Give the new profile a recognizable name and save it. Once you have these values, all you need to do is go to Ingredients->Water and click on the Add button to enter your readings.
These measures are typically listed in ppm or mg/l which are equivalent. Often you will find Alkalinity (as CaCO3) listed instead of Bicarbonate, and you can convert it to bicarbonate (in ppm) using the formula bicarb = alkalinity * 61/50. The critical measurements include water pH, and the six major water ions: Sodium (Na), Chloride (Cl), Sulfate (SO4), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca) and Bicarbonate (HCO3). There are a variety of ways to find your local water profile including using a water test kit, a water profile from your local water supplier, and even using bottled water as a base if your local water is not suitable. Creating a Water Profileīefore you can use the mash pH estimation and adjustment tools you need to have a water profile that matches your brewing water. For extract brewers I make the case here that you are better off starting your extract beer with neutral brewing water. Note: The new tools primarily apply to all grain and partial mash brewers where controlling your mash pH is important. I’ve written many posts on why the proper mash pH in the 5.2-5.6 range is important for brewing your best beer, and V2.3 of BeerSmith makes it easier than ever! Please be patient as more links will be added you have to start somewhere.Follow of the most anticipated new features in BeerSmith 2.3 is the new water analysis and mash pH tools available.
