Tap water smells like wet dog.

(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!

Tap water smells like wet dog.

Post by Befuddler » Wed May 08, 2013 4:39 pm

Bit of an odd one this... In the last few weeks, my tap water has started to smell like a soggy mutt. Any ideas what might cause this? I don't particularly want to brew with it, so I'll be switching to the cheap tesco filtered stuff for now.

My tap water has always been very soft, and it's still almost off the bottom end of the salifert scale, but it's never stunk like a damp hound before. :?

I would ring the Water Board and get it reported, brewing with it would be the least of my worries.

What about Drinking it!
