Hi All,
I've been brewing all gain for several years now and had some great results. I've just moved to Tinbeerwah and the new place is not on mains water. I've got tank (collected off a zinc alum roof) and a bore. I've brew a couple of beers using the tank (with some brewing salt additions) and have also tried the bore, but the results are a bit disappointing. I think it's the water as most of the equipment is the same as I've always used.
For the next brew I'm thinking I'll use tank water and pass it through a water filter (.5 micron). Then I guess I'll have a blank canvas. I'll add some brewing salts to suit the mash type and a some yeast nutrient for the manganese and zinc etc. that will be missing from the filtered water. What do you think, will this work? Anyone brewing AG with tank water?
