[Maheel]

Our water looked like that one night fairly recently, but by the next morning it was all OK again, when I rang the water-company they said it was caused by a broken main not too far from here.

I did a brewday with a bunch of other brewers at my place and the mains delivered a similar effort on the day.
Oh the derision (*******s).
Still the beers brewed were drinkable.

Same here Maheel ,the water looked like that a while ago but cleared up the next day.

I'm in Brisbane's inner north and I've had similar colours coming from my taps on my last 2 brew days, however after running the taps for a good 5 or 10 mins or seems to clear up.... Don't know what's causing it, but I'm glad my landlord pays water usage!

G'day fellas,

A little off topic but do you think there would be any benefit in using natural spring fed water for brewing? I have access to some pretty amazing water sources in the Central Highlands down here in Tas but do you think there would be any noticable difference?

Just a thought..

 

[Maheel]

i ran a second bucket 1hr after that pic and it was a lot worse with big chunks of crap in it

urban cowboys (utilities) came out and flushed the mains and left a card in my mail box

water looks much better

but i am going to run the hose a while this arvo to clean out the lines into the yard

Maheel, what are those urban cowboys you speak of:

Google reveals all sorts of weird results, but none that would match your description.

If I had spring fed water as an easy source I'd be using it!

Water is the major ingredient in beer, so it can make a good difference. The only thing if you are making AG you would need to get it analyzed, and adjust the number as needed.
