Liquor treatment calculator

(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!

Liquor treatment calculator

Post by molehill » Wed Nov 14, 2012 7:32 pm

I know this is a big ask, but can someone help me with these calculations. I used the liquor treatment calculator above and downloaded the water analysis from my water suppliers website but I don't know whether I am using the calculator correctly?

The information requires the following and based on the averages of the analysis:

Alkalinity = 139
Carbonate reduction method = I plan to boil my liquor and leave standing overnight, since I don't know what CRS means.
Ca = 99.9
Mg = 9.83
Na = 62.4
CO3 = 83.34
SO4 = 135
CI = 92

I am assuming volume to be treated is 33lt

If anybody is willing to advise I would really appreciate it

Thanks

Carbonate Reducing Solution. It saves having to boil your water to get rid of the excess alkalinity. :wink:

What else do you want to know? If you used Graham's calculator it's telling you what salts you need to add and how much.

Thanks Jim..... At least I now know what CRS means now. Still not convinced I ended up with the correct salt requirements, which is why are asked the question.
