Mineral content can affect taste. For best results, water should not exceed these parts per million

(ppm) of dissolved minerals:

• Ideal вЂ" 50 -100 ppm (50-100 mg/L) or 3 to 6 grains of hardness

• Acceptable вЂ" Below 300 ppm (300 mg/L) or 18 grains of hardness

The temperature of the water during brewing affects flavor and extraction.

• Ideal Water Temperature вЂ" 195Ð'Ñ" - 205Ð'Ñ"F (92Ð'Ñ" - 96Ð'Ñ"C)

Combining these elements for optimum flavor, productivity and profit is a
