Got a packet of campden tabs so I can use my tap water for brewing. Definitely has a chlorinated smell about it, possibly chloramine in there too.
I notice that it says on the packet that they are a sterilant and preservative so I'm wondering a couple of things.
Does this mean I can use campden treated water without boiling for top off? Will using this water for my starsan solution mean I could use or keep the solution for longer, safely?
I realize it isn't going to make my tap water as pure as distilled would be, but sterilant suggests to me that the water is, somewhat, purified as a result. Maybe totally off the mark with this though.
