I would suggest getting your water tested. You can send a sample to Ward Laboratories (http://www.wardlab.com/) and they'll test it for mineral content. Then you can adjust your water to match Burton on Trent water.
You can use Total Gravity Values to figure this out. The basic equation is GU(beg)*Volume(beg)/Volume(end) = GU(end)
For example if your pre-boil wort S. G. is 1.038 and pre-boil volume is 6.5 gallons, and your final volume is 5.5 gallons then your final S. G. should be:
38*6.5/5.5 = 44.9...
I live off of Victory between Eagle and Cloverdale. If you want to join a homebrew club during the summer, I belong to the Snake River Brew Club. Fees are cheap, we meet once a month and have educational topics and sample homebrew.
Hi everybody! I am from Meridian, ID which is right beside Boise in the Treasure Valley. I've been home brewing for many years, and am looking forward to sharing information.
