That’s very strange water, I thought I remembered reading that NZ water is low in minerals. Are you kegging or bottling it?New house, new brew space. And it got its first run out today.

Send a picture in 2 years when you've filled it with crap!!!
Fortunately I have a low tolerance for crap in my life, even more so after the very traumatic downsize that I’ve just went through.
There’s still a couple of runs to the dump in the bits of the garage that you can’t see
