Forget the ratio. It’s useless. Yes, the profile is from the municipal supply and there’s no telling if brewers adjusted the water from there. But considering that water adjustment was rarely a consideration for brewers, I’d bet that what you see is what they used.

I think my learning took place before that, so I never could figure out what the ratio was all about. He also has a BU:OG ratio that I never quite understood the importance of.
