Jim's Beer Kit

cheers bigmouth
im hoping I get a reply from someone using these salts.
I might just go with my gut instinct and add them at the start of the boil, just ive seen some counter arguments saying post boil. its a bloody minefield!

HI guys

ive gone into the realms of water treatment and would just like to know before I add the two above mentioned treatments if anyone has added these before or after the boil, seems a bit of a gray area

Cheers

I know this thread is ancient but hopefully some will notice this and have theyre two cents on the subject

Has anyone tried this agent for theyre hard water with good results?

I'm going to add a litre of hop tea to my strong beer but still doubt this will make much difference'
But id rather add this than pure water

Ive ballsed up and thought they were a substitute to galaxy (yes I know) :( Now thinking will a hop tea and a load of dry hopping save this potentially bland beer or has anyone here used magnum hops for a SMASH and had good results?

Cheers guys I ditched the 200 grams and am now going with 70 grams
