Pay close attention to your alkalinity right now.

(That's water to the rest of us!) Beer is about 95% water, so if you want to discuss water treatment, filtering etc this is the place to do it!

Pay close attention to your alkalinity right now.

Just a quick heads up. I am not sure if its a fluke, isolated event or if the water companies are messing with sources more due to this dry summer everyone is talking about but my alkalinity has always been consistent at 105-130ish and its just dropped randomly to 15!

Just a warning not to make assumptions because its always the same!!!

Mine hasn't dropped quite so drastically, but back in February this year it was 180, and when I brewed last Saturday it was down to 125.
