water

This looks to me like total snake oil - is anyone using similar and finds any benefit?

. Did first partial mash recipe (a super high gravity RIS), going with Brewfather figures for water, but then ended up having to boil more than twice as long as specified, to get correct batch volume. The LME was included in Fermentables, with use set to flameout. I normally do all grain...

Hi all, Can I use ONLY distilled water for 23L batch when using liquid malt extract, and will I get desired 5.2-5.6 PH of the wort, or I still need to adjust PH to get 5.2PH? Also, I'm planning to add one sachet (4g) of yeast nutrient. Thanks for all replies.

Hi guys, I have bought a few all grain kits lately that have no water quantity’s on. I’ve been guessing from previous expierence and brews the split between mash and sparge water. My question is is there a formula you use that can tell you how much mash water you need using a given grain bill...

Afternoon, beginner here. The more I’ve been delving into the world of AG videos / research etc, it has led me to wonder how important water treatment is. I normally just use tap water (I believe it’s quite hard in my area). Is this a problem? Also I plan to fill my kettle tonight and leave...

I'm planning some small 4.5L brews fermented in demijohns and I'm intending on using just spray malt as the basis for my wort. Just trying to plan recipes and was looking for a reference point of what Original Gravity 500g of light spray malt would give when dissolved in 4.5 Litres of water...

Hello all, I am in an area of very hard water (>250ppm) and was looking at a 3-stage RO filter to dilute my water for pilsners. Recently, I've been boiling to soften which is going to be crazy expensive. I'm wondering which one to go for. I was looking at the following: Option 1 (£55) Option 2...

Hello all Well iv opened the door to a new thirst quenching world. iv finally ordered my first beginners brew kit !. Iv ordered my mix that is likened to one of my favourite tipples “Doom Bar”. I’m looking for any tips on what water to use for my virgin batch. Iv done a little reading on other...

In recent brews I have been expanding my knowledge by using adjucts (vanilla, maple syrup, cocoa, candi sugar etc) and now I want to have a go at a brew with water adjustments. I want to try a NEIPA and have read a couple of really helpful posts on how to adjust for water and how the grain...

HI everyone, If I was to boil my water before adding to the mash to reduce alkalinity, how long would I have to boil for? The amount of CaCo3 in my water is 335.5 and I'd prefer not to use CRS as according to Brewers Friend this pumps up my Chloride too high. Any advice very welcomed thanks.

Hi everyone, this is the first time I've aimed to change my water. I've bought some Murphy and Son's AMS to reduce alkalinity. My total Alkalinity as Calcium Carbonate is 305 mg/l. My calcium is 134 mg/l. I am aiming to brew a West Coast IPA (I tried a NEIPA with no water treatment, and it...

Hi folks Can someone help / check my water profile please? I've got some of this info from the Thames Water water report and some from using the Salifert kits (Alk and Ca) So, by using the BrewFather help files here , this is what I've ended up with but there are some slight discrepancies...

Just to get an overview where >90% of our beer comes from.

Evening, I’ve got a question that is bugging me and would be great if so one could clear it up it may sound stupid earlier today I took the air lock off my fermentor and a small amount of the sanitised solution fell into my wort. Will the affect my beer in the end in any way. The satanised...

So I always have this problem. I am trying to brew a 5 litre batch of my own recipe but I always fall short. I'm using 700grams of two different grains and 200g of dme and I use a 12 litre stock pot. Help me!!!

I have discovered that the still water sold in Lidl as their own brand called SASKIA comes from a spring source just outside Burton on Trent. This, presumably, would make it ideal for brewing Burton style beer. The chemical breakdown is...
