So before, i had crap results with the water i was using and campden. Reason being is i had free chlorine and not chloramines.
After i spoke with the water department about this, i let the water sit out over night and agitated it with a large spoon when i walked by, this worked wonderfully and the beer tasted awesome (i always used RO water, but got super lazy and wanted to use tap)
However, the problem now arises that i moved across town into Portland; they use chloramines.
So, i'm aware that the campden will resolve the issues with chloramines, but i can't find really information on how long to let the water sit after adding the campden.
Does the reaction happen immediately? does it need to sit out over night? Or do i just crush it to a powder and stir it in and it's immediately awesome?
i'm just worried that if i don't let it sit overnight, it'll still have stuff left over inside of it...
