Calcium Carbonate is 73.79mg/l average.

I got the spreadsheet thanks. Northumbrian Water don’t give any PH value but Alkalinity is 48.08mg/l (average)

Alkalinity is 180ppm and Hardness comes in at 250ppm.

Ok, so i have now taken delivery of both PH meter and Alkalinity test strips and shocked at the results to be honest. PH reads 7.87 and that’s after several tries with different samples of tap water. Alkalinity shows as high, can’t read the PPM’s as my eye’s ain’t what they used to be but it...

Thanks and what a cracking read that is, i now sort of understand the process and have just ordered a few ingredients to play around with.

Look guys, this is my very 1st foray into water treatment and as such i have to admit that I’m pretty clueless so forgive all the stupid questions. But, as kits and grains, hops, yeast etc, are all on the rise (price wise) i want to get it right and not ruin any brews due to water treatment, or...

Er, no, never even heard of it TBH.

I don’t mate but the meter is arriving before Wednesday so no point sending them, although I appreciate your offer 👍👍👍

Aldi & Lidl both sell them.

The real reason is that i am inexperienced and i assumed that RO water was the better option, however after reading your comments I’ll ditch the RO and go with good old tap water and tweak it as suggested. I’m waiting for my PH meter to arrive so will post the PH once i have it.

Very nice, great price as well mate.

So in addition to the DWB & AMS what other additions do i need? I’ve had to postpone my planned brew day today so have a week to get whatever water treatments i need before next weekend.

Very confused now, but you are right, i will be using RO water for this one as i need to create some space in my garage so the water needs to go (be used) OK so i won’t be able to match your profile, but surely adding some DWB & AMS will improve the RO?

That’s the way I’ll be doing it with todays brew as I’ve finally managed to free some time up to get the Neck Oil clone kit brewed. I’m looking at a 28ltr mash and sparge (14 & 14) which will give me 23 ltrs into the FV hopefully then maybe 18 to 19ltrs into the keg. What quantities of DWB and...

Grainfather has the prestige name behind it, but i have a Klarstein mash kettle (not an AIO) and it’s also very good German made quality. I’d go for the Klarstein with the better features, actually that’s my next upgrade on my bucket list.

I’m starving now

Try the same again with left over bolognaise (or fresh) equally as good but twice as messy to eat 😋

Just ordered a PH meter

So basically I’ve bought the wrong meter 🤣 Back to the drawing board then.

What is PDS? I’m totally ignorant on these things
