French mineral water?

[FiercelyFuzzy]

Hi All

I've got a couple of 1 Litre bottles of a highly mineralised French water called Hepar (the constituents are below).

Éléments Proportion en mg/L

Calcium (Ca2+) 549
Magnésium (Mg2+) 119
Chlorures (Cl-) 11
Sodium (Na+) 14
Potassium (K+) 4
Sulfates (SO42-) 1530
Bicarbonates 384
Nitrate (NO3-) 4.3

As you can see it's got bags of minerals. I was just wondering if adding this to my soft Lanarkshire water would be an effective way of turning it into mash liquor? Maybe 2 litres into 20 litres? I think the water is used as a laxative in France..!

Cheers

Test your alkalinity with a Salifert kit, FF.

I checked mine recently and it was down at 10 mg/L, so pretty good for blonde ales and lagers but anything darker and I chuck in some cheap mineral water as Chris suggests.
