Champlain Valley Water Quality, 2009

jsled — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 16:09:42 +0000

I missed putting up the water quality numbers from this spring, but in the mean time it turns out the Champlain Water District has the Water Quality Reports up on the web. Unfortunately, they’re huge PDFs since they seem to be simply bitmap scans of the paper report. :(

In any case, here’s the relevant homebrewer water quality details:

Aluminum	0.056 mg/L
Alkalinity	57-74 ppm as CaCO3
Calcium Hardness	45-56 ppm as CaCO3
Total Hardness	61 ppm as CaCO3 (3.6 grains/gal)
Chloride	17 ppm
Foaming Agents	less than 0.1ppm
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)	2.10 ppm (1.49-2.74)
Conductivity	182 µS/cm (158-202)
pH	7.66 (7.4-7.94)
Total Dissolved Solids	113 ppm
Iron	less than 0.01ppm
Manganese	.006 mg/L (0 – 0.023)
Sodium	7.5ppm
Potassium	1.31 ppm
Sulfate	15 ppm
Silver	less than 0.005 ppm
Silica	1.4 ppm
Silicon	0.67 ppm
Bromide	less tahn 0.010 ppm
Iodide	less than 1 ppm
Flouride	0.96 mg/L (0.71 – 1.19)
Ammonium Ion	0.12 ppm (0.02-0.23)

mysql[-bin]-5.1.40 ebuild

I had a pressing need for mysql-5.1.40 to be installed for work reasons a couple of weeks ago, and found the state of mysql releases in gentoo to be lacking. I cobbled together the following ebuild using the binary RPM distribution from mysql.com. It should probably be called “mysql-bin”, but whatever.

Champlain Valley water analysis, Spring 2008

jsled — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:14:42 +0000

As a South Burlington homeowner (water-bill-payer, really), the Champlain Water District sends me a report about how their water is the best water. Of note to me as a homebrewer is the analysis of certain chemical properties of the water. Since a few google searches for this information basically turned up my previous post and not the actual source of the data, here’s the data:

aluminum: < 0.06ppm
color: 2 units
alkalinity: 57-74 ppm as CaCO3
calcium hardness: 45-56 ppm as CaCO3
total hardness: 61 ppm as CaCO3
chloride: 17ppm
foaming agents: < 0.1 ppm
total organic carbon: 2.04 pm (1.49-2.61)
conductivity: 192 micro-S/cm (156-194)
pH: 7.62 (7.39-7.79)
total disolved solids: 113 ppm
iron: < 0.01ppm
manganese: .007ppm
sodium: 7.5ppm
potassium: 1.31 ppm
sulfate: 15 ppm
silver: < 0.05ppm
silica: 1.4ppm
silicon: 0.67 ppm
bromide: < 0.010 ppm
iodide: < 1 ppm
flouride: 1.01 ppm (0.74 – 1.28)
ammonium ion: 0.15 ppm (0.01 – 0.32)
