Murphy's and sons water treatments

(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!

Murphy's and sons water treatments

Post by wilfh » Tue Nov 05, 2013 9:45 pm

had a look at murphy's today and there is a selection

do I need the full hog or should I just stick with the water analysis?

cheers

Water only. The others are for finished beer

Just before you do that, put your postcode in here......... http://www.nwl.co.uk/your-home/your-acc ... ality.aspx
and you'll find figures for sodium, chloride and sulphate as well as a figure for hardness in mg/l calcium. That's when the fun starts as that calcium isn't just calcium. Murphy's should give separate amounts for calcium and magnesium.
Without patience, life becomes difficult and the sooner it's finished, the better.
