Rainwater? Good or bad

[sponge]

My tank was getting a little low but should be nicely topped up over the next few days by the sounds of it.

Brewed today with mains water instead of the normal rainwater. 10% drop in mash efficiency.

I should have known better.

Tested the theory by brewing again today with tank water. Back to 82% mash efficiency. :icon_cheers:

Pissed down here an hour ago and picking up again now, raining tomorrow as well,got all outside work so looking as a day off for a brew.....using fresh rainwater.
I've got a bag of Ella hops plus some others,any suggestions using Ella ,ale malt and some home roasted crystal 10 ?

No shortage of rainwater in Whyalla at the moment.....not getting much work done this week.

I wish I had my brewery here.

I think the eastern states are copping it today

last 3 days have had exactly 20.5mm rain each day, checked the rain gauge for holes this morning...

I'd have to disagree with you there Dicko. I'm carrying enough kg's without a constant diet of beer and blue swimmer crab!

Currently at a 'Union Support Rally' on the Sapphire Coast. Two days leave got me nine days off! Problem is it hasn't stopped raining since the second day. Then the van roof started leaking... (Not trying to derail the thread but I blame the Coalition and CHAFTA)

I wont comment on the first bit....but yeah...threads do tend to wander a bit these days

 

[manticle]

Off topic and political types fair enough but it would be great if brewing topics could either stay on topic or diverge on logical tangents.

Please.

Pigs arse it will !
I worked in Whalla for a year and I swear that when it rains the little feckers are wearing raincoats.
The rain up there adds to the humidity and the flies go nuts,millions of them.

Only while it is raining...after that...its game on....
