Hi Everyone,
I am an all-grain brewer who is originally from Melbourne. I am getting back into my hobby recently.
After moving to Perth and starting a family I have finally found the time to get back on the horse.
Curious if any fellow brewers have any advice on their water treatment/softening. Where I lived in Melbourne, I could use tap water with great success.
When I lived north of the river here, I had to use RO water as the tap water smelled like it came from a local swimming pool.
Now living in the Melville area, the tap water is much more useable, and get's a good result, but only for certain types of beer.
Using local water reports, I believe a 50/50 mix of RO and tap water would get me closer to a desirable water profile. Any one else doing this over here?
Cheers everyone!
