New Orleans municipal water analysis for homebrewers

I tried googling for this, to no avail. If you're interested in the New Orleans water supply for homebrewing, here it is (links to PDF).
The commentary from the scientist that passed it along follows:

The hardness and alkalinity vary as our source water (MS River) varies. Currently, the total hardness of the tap water on the east bank is about 150 mg/L as CaCO3 and the alkalinity is about 120 mg/L as CaCO3. Typical chloramine levels uptown are 2.5 - 3.5 mg/L; typical free chlorine levels are <0.2 mg/L.

This was my 100th batch. Getting a nice funky pedicle.

Excellent news!

This makes me sad...

Pacman yeast!

My LHBS has Pacman. I never understood the hype about this yeast but if you've ever tried (and liked) Wyeast 1056 or White Labs 001 - this is better. It ferments better, finishes better and cleaner and is more versatile.

Why they don't have it year-round befuddles me....
