What Are You Brewing III

[Jimmeh]

Just doughed this one in.... Using RO water from my brand new filter :beerbang:

View attachment 49229

Where did you get your filter mate?

 

[NickB]

Was from a 'disposals' store in the local shopping centre. Had my eye on it for a while, and when my tax money came back, I jumped only to find they'd dropped by $50!

It's a 5-stage Chinese made unit with pump boost, 20L storage tank, $200. They had the non-pump unit for $150, same 5-stage setup.

Seems to do around 15L/Hour.

Cheers

Very nice!
Have you tried a brew using the RO water yet? Much of a diff? Im seriously considering getting one

 

[NickB]

First brew on the go right now! A German Pils with untreated RO water. Super-Soft! Recipe above.

No brewing salts NickB ?

 

[NickB]

No Razz, trying super soft water for this batch, and will build in future brews if it's not so good. Have had a few guys from up this way brew with straight RO water however, and the brews have been :icon_drool2:

Ended up with 79% efficiency so about on par with my previous batches. Will pitch tomorrow on some 2001 and well keep you all posted on the results!

I have used this yeast a few times now and if your not in a hurry to drink it, let it ferment at 9 DEG. You won't regret it! :icon_cheers:

I have a 65M deep well. we didn't get a water softener till we got some light calcium bulid-up when boiling. This is the same well depth that my wife's mom's farm has run a farm for 115 years.

I have a Roggen/Cooper Stout, Amber Ale, Strawberry/Apple Zinfandel in the fermenters

 

[Florian]

Nice one Nick, you have been wanting a filter for a while. Will be interesting to see how your beers change, especially your pilsners. I'm with Wallace, 9 degrees is the way to go with 2001.

 

[NickB]

Yep, did the CAP on that yeast at 9 and it's clean as. Looking forward to this one. Lucky I did a double batch I think. At least running out of all grain except Wey Pils and Wey Boh Pils couldn't have come at a better time!

Cheers
