I recently purchased a Grainfather G30 v2. I've been using Brew n Water to calculate water and salt additions. This time I attempted to use the GF app's water calculator and it is showing three times the amount of salts (Chalk, Epson Salt, etc) for the same recipe using Brew N Water and...

Exactly. I'm trying to do the right thing but getting ripped off by this place. We are going to have words with the owner.

I always treat this water with Sodium metabisulfite to remove any Chlorine or chloramines just to be sure. Thanks for your feedback

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the feedback

It taste ok. And I brewed a lot of beer with it that also taste ok. I'm just trying to up my game by getting closer to the desired target water profile. Thanks for the feedback

I recently wanted to pay more attention to my Brewing water so I purchased six gallons of water from a local water station that claims this is RO water. So I sent a sample Ward Labs and got the results back today. Sure doesn't look like RO water to me but I'm no expert. The following are the...

Sounds like a solid plan. Please keep us posted.

I usually brew in five gallon batches but have been wanting to pressure ferment in larger qualities.

Yep, already have it and use it for my all grain brews. Didn't realize it had the reducing calculator feature. Thanks

Sounds like a good way of adding the water. Next time if I just go with a four gallon batch would I need to reduce the the initial recipe accordingly?

Thank you for the feedback. That's exactly what I was planning on doing (closed transfer) I always use K-meta powder also. Do you think it will be a similar result if I would have fermented with the full five gallons? Or will it be watered down somewhat? Will do. Thanks again

I just started a corny keg pressure fermentation with 4 gallons to provide head space during fermentation. Would it be ok to add the last gallon of water after fermentation is complete assuming the FG will be higher than planned

Is it absolutely necessary to boil water to remove Chlorine when using Potassium Metabisulfite? Or can I just add it to my container and let it sit for a couple days. The reason I ask is I'm going to try one of More Beer's new Flash Brew kit that does not require boiling. Thanks
