Hi Guys,
I'm moving soon and the water at my new location will be from rainwater tanks.
Being fairly new and not yet having gotten to the water chemistry business as yet... it's probably a year off at least, was contemplating in a broad sense how this would affect my beers at a time when I'm only just starting to get some consistency going.
I suspect the mineral content will be lower, so I'd need to start adding some of that in and then adjust to taste for future recipes and batches.
Does anyone else working off tank water have a good starting point addition for this? (say x grams of gypsum per xl of water or something along those lines etc...)
I'm slightly feeling a little overwhelmed reading some of the water chem stuff that's out there.
Appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide
