    Munich Helles

    Samuel Adams, I use a Reverse Osmosis filter and add salts / acid back for each respective brew as required to achieve the correct Mash PH. You could use rain water provided that it is from a clean source. You can treat it as RO water and add salts as required. I only add Calcium Chloride if...

    Australia's burning again

    I get extremely annoyed when state governments control their respective fire fighting agencies yet we still have a state like SA that pour our money into the arts and other "fringe" interests every year yet completely ignore the fact that this money could be used to purchase Elvis type aircraft...

    Stainless v fiberglass esky mash tun?

    I insulated my stainless tun with Nitrile Rubber which is the same or similar to what Beerbelly Brewing insulate there equipment with. I had a herms system and it had no trouble at all maintaining temperature. If you are happy with your cooler then save your money for something else.

    Stainless v fiberglass esky mash tun?

    I replaced a 50 litre Keep Cool mash tun with a stainless pot and false bottom because the cooler warped due to heat on the inside. Stainless steel is virtually forever.

    Rainwater? Good or bad

    Lets get back to water. A good rule of thumb is if you are using tank water for extract or KandK then boil it. If you are using it for all grain or partial mash then get a ph meter and test and adjust mash PH and filter it prior to using it even if you like the taste of it.

    Rainwater? Good or bad

    We run rainwater through a ceramic filter for drinking but we still get a bit of crap on the filter stone. I have brewed with our rainwater, treating it with salt additions the same as I would with the RO water and I get very good results. Using rainwater in most instances is good for beer...
