Water treatment for Belgian ales

(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!

Water treatment for Belgian ales

Post by Muttley » Fri Feb 06, 2009 8:03 pm

I'm planning on making a Leffe Blonde clone in the next few days and wondered what sort of water profile I should be aiming at, specifically what alkalinity level (in mg/L) would be best. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks :)

Thanks Chris. What residual alkalinity would be good for a lager. When I brew a bitter I aim for about 27 mg/l; would it be close to that?
