Beer stone remover
Re: Beer stone remover
Thanks chaps.
Wasn't unpleasant, still drinkable. Just "OK" . Unpleasent gets fed to the staff
According to anglian water calcium is 3 ppm, but will double check.

Re: Beer stone remover
You've got more arsenic than calcium!!!
Something's very wrong there.

Re: Beer stone remover
Mashbag, I've looked at many water reports over the years and that is just not right. Are you on a spring water supply or something strange? My water is very soft and low alkalinity yet still has 13mgCa/L. What water area are you in?

Re: Beer stone remover
The arsenic is in microgrammes per litre, but from that table it has 20 times more chlorine than calcium and I would have thought that would be palatably undrinkable. If I read that correctly the benzene content is many times above a carcinogenic level. There is something radically wrong with that table.
Can you send a link to that table.

Re: Beer stone remover
Yes Guy, typing in low light hit the 9 above the 6 on the keypad. 3000/183 = 16.4.

Re: Beer stone remover
Ah, mystery solved!
Your calcium is 124ppm. The '3' you saw is the number of samples taken.
The report's not easy to read, though. But perhaps it looks better on your PC than mine. I have to keep sliding it left to right and back again.

Re: Beer stone remover
Using Graham's "liquor Treatment Calculator" from this Forum for 30 litres of water with average figures from the Anglian Water site and his Burton Pale Ale profile that has a 130ppm level of calcium, the problem is obvious.
Interesting the beer tasted of soft water.

Re: Beer stone remover
Just in case you are curious about the profile used for the brew, I've again used Graham's program to show what those additions created.

Re: Beer stone remover
That sliding right and left did make it hard to read.
Thanks for spotting the problem.
I am a little annoyed at myself a) for the misread and b) for changing 2 things in one go. Making it harder to spot what happened.
Brewing next week. Will recalc my DWB.

Well, the clue is in Clarets7's post, you don't become competent assimilator of data from water quality reports without a bit of practice.
I'd not be too concerned about changing more than one thing at a time. There isn't one perfect beer, but a good pale beer demands low alkalinity water. You could brew without any salt additions to the mash, but a truly serious attempt would involve checking your water's alkalinity after acid treatment and measuring mash and wort pH. Meanwhile I'd suggest you treat your brewing liquor's alkalinity with CRS to 20ppm CaCO3 or slightly less and throw a teaspoon of DWB into the boiler to improve hot and cold break as well as yeast flocculation.

Re: Beer stone remover
That is good advice Eric. Thank you.
I will let you know how it's goes.

After much delay (postage), cream coloured and costing less arrived. Calibration done. Supply water 280. Thanks.Eric wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 5:07 pmNo! Both of mine are cream coloured and cost less.MashBag wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 4:59 pmHad anyone got one of these?

Off to make some AMS water for the iron next!

Re: Beer stone remover
280? What does that represent?
It would appear you have a belief that adding AMS to hard water will make it soft and therefore suitable for use in a steam iron. It doesn't
