    Hello lads, Few questions regarding Bru'n Water if anyone who uses the software would be so kind as to chime in:D So I'm going to have a go using this software as everyone seems to recommend it highly. I have been using EZ Water Calc purely for mash pH and Sulphate/Chloride ratios. I've been...
