Moved house - Water Treatements

(That's water to the rest of us!) Beer is about 95% water, so if you want to discuss water treatment, filtering etc this is the place to do it!

Moved house - Water Treatements

Post by becausewecan » Wed Apr 22, 2020 12:39 pm

Hi all,

Ive recently moved house and dont have a water report for my new property

I've just bought a salifert KH/Alkalinity test and a Calcium test also

When they arrive i'll do my tests and plug them into a calculator such as brun water, however because i wont have values for magnesium, sodium, sulfate etc, how do i interprate the results - i belive brun water will be asking me to treat my zero values - which bits should i ignore when treating?

Send some of your water to Wallybrew for a proper analysis...?

Contact Wallybrew on here to get details of how you can get a water analysis.

I'm not a big user of Bru n Water - you just need to follow the advice here: https://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/water_treatment.htm
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.

thanks - i've made contact - i had previously used murphy and sons but the only way i could see to get a sample done was to buy a kit from brewuk, and they're almost a month behind in shipping orders!!
