I’ve heArd my town has great water, just never got into the water chemistry part...till now.

City water from the tap.

Just not sure what to do now...I’ve been brewing with this water without any adjustments and beer comes out fine. Looking to make it better...

Just got my ward water analysis, now what? What you guys think of my water?

Sweet, glad I could help. I don’t use clarifying agents, extra step,that in my opinion isn’t needed. Yes I agree with the lid dipping into the wort. I don’t worry too much about it, just make sure it’s sanatized.

They are on sale 100 off at morebeer.

Best tip, and you have to clean it anyway. Open and seal it a few times, with or without pressure get feel how it closes up.

Stupid autocorrect!

I just followed the directions and all went well. Pretty basic. Just be mindful of the gasket when sealing it up so it doesnt drop in. If you have co2 with a gauge, I'd throw say 20 lbs in it and check sounding valve for accuracy. And with the pressure release valve on the lid. I put 20lbs then...

Oh...the gasket for lid can kinda be a PITA as I dropped it in the fermenter full of wort and had to fish it out. It doesnt sit well like the normal corny, but if you are aware as I am now, it'll be fine.

Went out on a limb and bought one. Used it twice, does what it says. I used it in my mini fridge conversion for temp control, I've brewed 2 lagers using this fermenter. Get about 2.5 of drinkable beer after everything settles out. Cold crashed and I poured the yeast it into a sanitized Mason jar...

Didn’t like it? I just ordered a brewkeg.

Anyone use one of these? Haven't really found squat for info/reviews. Saw more beer had a special pricing which I missed but haven't found much. Like's dislikes? I'd intend to use in my all grain brewing vs williamswarn extract kits. Thanks.

If you are using a hydrometer, just drop it in your test vessel. That is as accurate as you get. When using a refractometer there is some math involved because it wont accurately calculate when alcohol is present, its measuring fermented sugar.

I just asked the same thing https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f127/lactic-acid-504165/
