What's in your water

(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!

What's in your water

Post by ashbyp » Mon Aug 11, 2008 4:36 pm

Did anyone see the program presented by Andrew Marr last night? Britain from the Air it was called, or something like that.

Raw sewage is pumped into big tanks/filters and 1 week later it comes out the other end and straight back into the water mains. So this morning my Monday morning cup of tea used water I flushed down the bog last week.

I think I am going to start boiling my brewing water for 3 days solid before brewing with it :shock:

It's been that way for decades, mate.
Doesn't matter if its from the sewers or a spring, it all gets sedimented and treated and generally made clean and tasty.

This is a good read.
