Water Treatment

Post by trickybrew » Fri Feb 26, 2010 5:53 pm

Hi all just want to ask a question about AG water treatment before the mash, say during the boil, without getting to technical what treatment do I put in the water that will help the QUALITY of the brew, I am using tap water.
Thanks #-o :mrgreen:

Firstly I'd remove the tape ;)

Assuming you mean tap water ;) there is no blanket answer because tap water varies widely from area to area.
Best wishes

It can make a diffrence but dont worry about it. If you are just starting to All-grain brewing just use tap water. Once your a little more skilled/Knowledgeable then think about it. But get a few brews under your belt first.
