New Home, New Water, New Learning!

[Ashole]

Hey all

I'm about to move up to York from Winchester in the next couple of weeks.
I've brewed 7 batches of all grain beer now and think this would probably be a good time to start expanding my knowledge on water treatment as so far I've not done any.

I've read over a few basic guides including the one on this forum and I think I kindda get what the crack is but was interested to know if there were any North Yorkshire dwellers out there who could share some wisdom with me and giver me a shopping list of anything I may need for my new northern brewing antics??

Also if there is any good idiots guides to water treatment people could recommend I would be really grateful.

Cheers forum peoples.

Hi A and welcome to the forum :thumb:
Might be worth having a look on the forum map, top left, down 6 for folks in your area.

I live in York and think the water is really good, it tastes fine and doesn't develop any chlorine twang when stood for a while (unlike Hull!). I've done 4 kits and 8 AG brews, the only water treatment I've done so far is use half a crushed campden tablet. I'm really happy with the results so far and so have no plans to change the regime in the near future. A more experienced brewer from the region may be able to give some better advice on how to get the best from our water...

Hope you enjoy your new city!

Ashole - if you're moving to York I wondered if you'd seen this notice on York CAMRA Facebook page? Looks like a new home brewing club is being set up. Sounds interesting and I'll be attending this week.
