Hi guys,
I use one campden tablet (sodium metabisulphite) in 20 gallons of my city water to remove cholarmine. 1 tablet is supposed to be able to handle 20 gallons of water with 2 ppm chloramines. This is exactly the level of chloramine that I have.
In Brewing Classic Styles, John Palmer says the following about this:
"Both chlorine and chloramine are reduced to insignificant levels of sulfate and chloride ions (<10 ppm) within a couple of minutes at room temperature."
I also adjust my minerals (salts) based on style using www.ezwatercalculator.com.
My city's S04 and Cl are already very low (Cl=6, SO4=26). My chloramine is at 2ppm. If wanted to be more accurate with my salt additions should I add some points to my Cl and S04 counts because I use campden tablets or is really that insignificant? Adding 10ppm to my existing Cl count is nearly 3x as much!
