Water
Enter your water report values as ppm (mg/l)
Brewfather uses ppm values for the water profile, so your water report have to be converted to this. Below you will find help converting your values to ppm.
1 mg/L = 1 ppm
From Alkalinity mmol/l to ppm Bicarbonate HCO3: multiply by 61
From Alkalinity mg/l CaCO3 to ppm Bicarbonate HCO3: multiply by 1.22
From Alkalinity mmol/l to mg/l CaCO3: multiply by 50
1000 ug/L = 1 ppm
ug/L / 1000 = ppm
Calcium as CaCO3 ppm * 0.401 = Calcium (Ca) ppm
Magnesium as CaCO3 ppm * 0.243 = Magnesium (Mg) ppm
Sulfate as Sulfur ppm as SO4-S * 3 = Sulfate (SO4) ppm
Bicarbonate as CaCO3 ppm * 1.22 = Bicarbonate (HCO3) ppm
US Hardness grains/gallon * 6.86 = Calcium (Ca) ppm
°Clark / °e (English) Hardness grain/imp gallon * 5.71 = Calcium (Ca) ppm
German Hardness (°dH, deutsche Härte) * 7.14 = Calcium (Ca) ppm
Calcium Hardness mEq/L or mval * 20 = Calcium (Ca) ppm
Karbonate Hardness dKH * 21.8 = Bicarbonate (HCO3) ppm
Alkalinity mEq/L or mval * 61 = Bicarbonate (HCO3) ppm
Minor Ions (Currently not in use)
Carbonate as CaCO3 ppm * 0.6 = Carbonate (CO3) ppm
Nitrate as Nitrogen ppm as NO3-N * 4.43 = Nitrate (NO3) ppm
If the water report does not inlcude the pH you can use 8.0 as pH.
