How do I dechlorinate tap water before brewing... I have been told about Campden Tablets. Is this right... Are they the best and quantities should I use and at what stage should I use them??????
Thanks

Your dad is only partly correct I am afraidcarlsbrew said:I only know this through my father..he had 122 fish tanks and imported marine/ tropical fish as a livelyhood but as I understand it, if you leave tap water to simply stand for 24 hours the chlorine will escape naturally. It's held in the water as a liquid form whilst under pressure, and once it's been released from your tap the pressure is gone so it comes back out of the water as a gas in bubble form.
To prove this try this little trick, get a glass of tap water and let it rest overnight etc, then you'll notice that there's bubbles formed on the glass' walls. Seal the top of the glass with your hand and then tap the glass on a worksurface etc and you'll see the bubbles rise to the top; then sniff them and you'll get a big whiff of chlorine.
So, as I understand it just let it rest for 24 hours out of the tap to get rid of it.
PS: Blame my dad if I'm wrong!
