I now remeber why I left the forum last time, it's full of users spouting cut & paste googleised skits of opinionated non evidential advice to beginners. My advice to any newbie, read a book, get web info from Brulosophy & avoid forums, they're just like Facebook, full of attention craving C**ts.
That's really good advice, but my reading of this thread is that you've overreacted a bit. having been around here for a while I'd say you're having a pop at a guy who knows his onions

Whatever, now where do I unsubscribe.
 
Here you go, I'll repeat it for you.
I'm pretty sure everyones water comes from a reservoir (correct me if I'm wrong), unless you have a well?:laugh8:. Mash PH should be between 5.2-5.5 to get the best conversion & no harsh tannins, dry hopping has nothing whatsoever to do with mash PH. Also, when you say pure, what does that mean? aunsure....
Your complete post above didn't show past 'unless you have a well' when I looked on the pc. I can see it all ok when looking on my phone. No need to throw your toys out of the pram

I can't reply to the post I'd like to as it looks like its already been removed.
Interesting that you think you know me so well after reading a few posts in this thread.
Shame you don't seem to want to discuss the subject in a grown up way or have anyone question your wisdom as maybe we could all learn something.
 
Is there an issue with the forum today? I can see the unfriendly reply now but was nowhere to be seen a minute ago???

I hate to correct you but when you say "everyone's water comes from a reservoir" isnt actually correct.

There are a number of sources of where untreated water can come from. Surface water (big reservoirs) ground water (bore holes) tidal (tidal fresh water rivers) and springs.

Once collected it is treated and distributed. Which can again, come to your home in a number of ways.

And yes, some people, and villages still do have private water supplies and it is still a well known practise to this day. Particularly in areas of low population and difficult geography that makes it cost prohibitive for a water company to feed.

You can thank me later.
 
Myqul removed the offending posts and Dull Boy wont be telling anyone else to **** off as he is taking a long break from the forum.

Interestingly, in the latest Brulosophy podcast (extolled by the late great Dull Boy in one of his deleted posts), Marshall says that based on experiment results he doesn't think mash pH is as important as mineral composition of the water, and that he didn't experience any tannin extraction etc in a high mash pH beer
Its a Q&A episode & the relevant question is at approx 22:40 minutes in:-

Details of the high mash pH experiment they did are here:
