Hi all,
Not long ago I bought myself an RO filter for my brewing, and have been pumping out some pretty nice lagers with straight RO water.
Now I'm looking to doing some of my tried and true recipes, but have become a little stuck on the water adjustment thing.
Firstly, when working out the g/L of your salt additions, do you use final batch volume, or total water volume for the batch?
Also, I assume it's better to err on the side of caution with extreme additions to styles like Burton Ales - I was looking at half the recommended additions for the first batch, and adjust as necessary...
Also, apart from How To Brew, is there any easy to understand chemistry pages around that are worth reading?
Cheers
