i did not adjust the water for years unless i was making a stout or other english style then i used burton water salts. now i adjust the pH with lactic acid to get a better conversion. lansings pH is around 8 or 9 if i remeber right. any water question for the city of lansing can be directed to Bill Mair, the Water Quality Administer at BWL 517-702-6813. he loves to talk to homebrewers about water and beer. the last water analysis i have is from 2003. Analyte / typical concentration / range calcium 50 40-60 magnesium 40 30-40 HCO3 15 10-25 Na* 44 30-60 SO4* 70 40-150 C1* 46 10-100 total hardness* 90 85-100 Chloramine** 2 1-3.5 * these parameters will more likely to be at the high end of the range durning high demand periods in the summer months of june, july, and august. **I suggest treating the chloramine with potassium metabisulfite aka camden tablets.
