Howdy,
My water has started smelling of chlorine lately and I'm planning a brew at the weekend. Now I was thinking of boiling the water to remove the chlorine but I'm worried that boiling it will remove the oxegen too which will damage my fermentation. Which is the lesser of two evils here any ideas?
Also, I've been collecting rainwater and I'd like to use this in my brewing at some stage in the future - is this a good idea? Is there some way to treat the water to make it usable or is it as easy as boiling it? It comes off the roof of my little shed. About 60 gallons in the last week. Irish Summers......
Thanks a mill,
Steve.
