Affordable Water Testing for Homebrewers
Send us 12–16 oz of your water. We’ll test it, and you only pay when your results are ready. We will send an invoice by email. Available only within the USA right now.
All samples will be tested for: chloride (Cl−), sulfates (SO42−), total alkalinity (TA), bicarbonate (HCO3−), residual alkalinity (RA), total hardness (TH), calcium hardness (Ca2+), magnesium hardness (Mg2+), sodium (Na+), and pH (pH).
In addition, we can save you time by building your mash and sparge treatment packets. Visit the Treatment Packet tab to learn more.

By measuring chloride and sulfate, we can predict how the water will shape the malt versus hop character in your beer. Total alkalinity, bicarbonate, and residual alkalinity show us how resistant your water is to pH change, which is critical for keeping mash enzymes active in that 5.2–5.4 range.
Hardness levels—both total, calcium, and magnesium—tell us how well your mash will convert starches and how the yeast will behave during fermentation. Sodium content adds to mouthfeel in moderation but can become harsh if too high. Finally, pH testing gives us the immediate baseline we need to adjust the mash toward optimal enzyme activity. By looking at all of these together, we can design water treatments that make your brewing process smoother and your beer more consistent.
