	...on a roll with questions today Since I mentioned that I will be brewing my own hop and malt suds I am curious as to how hard the water is in the vicinity of Ampolla? Is there a place where one can submit a water sample for testing? I'm planning on brewing only the very best beer, mediocrity can be bought at the store Alfred

	The water will be very hard either from a well or the mains but I think you can take a sample to any pharmacy and they will send it off to a laboratory for a test with report for you. (I had my well water tested before we bought the property). I think the pharmacy will give you some sterile bottles to collect your sample. Best ask for a price first!

	Alternatively, bottled water is very cheap (about 10 cents/litre) but it appears to have some calcium in it.

	Thanks for the advice ; will check out both suggestions and see how much carbonates and sulfates are in the bottled water

	Where are you getting the malt and hops from? Have spied out a couple of home brew shops in BCN but as yet haven't bought anything. Are you going to share your recipe with us or does it contain long forgotten secret ingredients known only to a few special people?

	Hey Colin Initially I will bring, malt,hops and yeast from Switzerland (order in Germany) and start scouting for beer supplies here in Spain after our move... I have quite a few recipes, nothing secret, they're all available on various brew forums in the US and in Germany. May be we can get together sometime in May or June if brewing is something that is of interest to you, but from your post it seems you may be already an experienced hobby brewer... Alfred
