Hi ya all
I have just done another AG brew - brand new 1084 yeast - made a few booboos along the way but once agaiin I have a disgusting mediciny flavour developing in the beer. I thought Brisbane used chlorine in the water supply and so i was letting the water sit out over night before brew day to sort out this problem. Turns out it was waste of time

ammonia and chlorine are added to form chloramine, which kills bacteria. Chloramine is maintained in the water to ensure bacteria do not re-grow in the distribution system and the water remains disinfected
dammit dammit dammit :angry: :angry: :angry:
do I need to use camdem tablets and how much -
- luckily i am still doing small test batches and have only wasted 2 12 litre batches
