Auckland water profile and BeerSmith... need a little help.

[TBone]

Hey all, 

Any of you using BeerSmith at all? 

I'm trying to put in my base profile for the water here in Auckland based on this report I've attached. 

I'm good for everything except for my "bicarbonate" or HCO3 measure. 

What do you guys put in there for that... for some reason I can't find it in the overview of the water in this report. 

Thanks in advance!

I use the EZ Water spreadsheet for sorting out my water adjustments.

It prompts and has options for either HCO3ppm or Alkalinity (CaC03) under the same category.

The report you've found has a Total Alkalinity value (CaCO3) so I'd try plugging that in and then doing a cross check with another calc tool to make sure you're getting similar results.

There's also Kai Troester's, which differs from the mainstream, but he's a very smart guy.

Thanks guys! 

Appreciate the responses.
