Hi Adam,

I'm not too far away from you - my calcium is 90ppm.
I'd really suggest that you buy a Salfert alkalinty test kit as I can get quite a variable alkalinity in my water.
Very cheap, easy and quick test

keighley area is about 36ppm, or GW thinks that Murphy & Son dilute all their samples (even if they don't have to) so its actually not quite right... though its going to make sod all difference really (its not made any difference to my Mash pH whether I use water treatment or not).

I'm in Leeds and I've never tested/treated my water, either - apart from Campden tablets, of course. Not had any problems so far - but might start adding a little gypsum or something next year purely for experimentation. But if it adds nothing then there's no point.
