If you buy this report, we ship to you the sample containers, pre-paid freight to your closest laboratory (Hamilton, Blenheim or Christchurch), instructions, ice packs and a polystyrene shipping box to keep your sample cold during transport.
Completed test results are emailed back to you once available.
We believe this is currently the only affordable laboratory grade water test aimed at home brewers in New Zealand.
Your sample is being tested for the following parameters:
Calcium
Magnesium
Sodium
Chloride
Sulphate
Total Hardness
Total Alkalinity
pH
The optional add on report uses the data from your laboratory water report to give you tailored advice on how to modify your water for a variety of beer styles.
This is highly recommended unless you know how to interpret & use water analysis data.
You can find an example report here.
