Water Treatment - Severn Trent
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2020 1:08 pm
Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is feeling well and not suffering from cabin fever just yet!
I think it is time I started using tap water for my brewing. Trips to the shops and bulk buying bottled water isn't really the right thing to do at the moment.
Does anybody on here have their water supplied by Severn Trent? If so, do you know if the information provided here is accurate or reliable?
I know one of the first things I should do is reduce/remove chlorine. What is the best way to do this?
My usual process is to use Tesco Ashbeck and add in minerals to match target profiles based on whatever BeerSmith tells me to add, and adjust with lactic acid if necessary (which it usually isn't). So have all the usual minerals and acid to hand.
Any tips or advice is appreciated.
Cheers,
Rob
