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!

With a Free chlorine level of 0.41mg and Chloramine of 0.09, then the 1/2 Campden tablet treatment for you will treat up to 60US Gallons for chlorine removal . . . Not worth trying to do less than 1/2 tablet in whatever your brew length is though :lol:
