    First time attempt at water treatment

    I'll have a look in store but think they've stopped selling Ashbeck altogether in the Republic and the one I listed is all they offer now

    First time attempt at water treatment

    Yeah, gonna sort a report next week or so, defitinely no point worrying about things unless I know my starting point In meantime I think I'll get some bottled water from Tesco, listed the numbers a little further up the thread so I think a bit of acid addition and some gypsum will help there...

    First time attempt at water treatment

    Cheers I must admit I'm struggling a bit with the water thing. In all honesty I see it as a means to an end for now, I just want to be able to brew a nice pale and not worry about that aspect of it, for now at least

    First time attempt at water treatment

    Fermentation was pretty consistent, temps never strayed too far Must admit I can't remember what yeast I used, lots of brews lately and haven't kept notes as much as I normally do. Think it was US-05 sprinkled on top, but I'll check back in case it was a liquid vial I personally enjoyed the...

    First time attempt at water treatment

    So I see something of a debate has been stirred, no harm I suppose As an aside, had some friends over Discerning beer drinkers so gave them some of an extract SN pale clone I did. Both enjoyed it but both commented it was quite malt heavy in taste as opposed to hoppy. From a water point of...

    Can you pitch too much yeast?

    Used 2 packs of US05 in a 1045 APA earlier, having read online that just sprinkling dry yeast on the wort kills a lot, so doing 2 makes up for that That fine?

    First time attempt at water treatment

    Cost €6 on Kindle so even if I pick up a few bits from it it's all good I've already started to understand a bit more about water, but also think I just want to learn only enough to enable me to brew consistently decent beers. It seems like a big rabbit hole to go down for what is still a hobby...

    First time attempt at water treatment

    Cool Ordered the phosphoric acid anyway and gypsum so will give them a go Got Palmer's Water book on Kindle too, time to read up on it alright My brief foray into all this has definitely put a RO system on my list though

    First time attempt at water treatment

    http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/phosphoric-acid-75-230-ml-406-g-p-3387.html Would that work to acidify it?

    First time attempt at water treatment

    Ordered some of the PH5.2 stabiliser stuff, just to try, I know it isn't a catch all solution Also, found another water with following values, suitable to use with the above stabiliser? Ca 79.3 Mag 22 Pot 2 Sod 20 Bicarb 200 Sulph 35 Nitrate 4 Chloride 18 Hoping to do a red IPA and a choc...

    Made my first ever yeast starter, and nothing is happening

    Ah, there may be my issue I cooled it in an ice bath to pitch the yeast in, straight onto stir plate and then into wort Should I have crashed it overnight after the time on plate and then brought it back up to temp??

    Made my first ever yeast starter, and nothing is happening

    Colour certainly changed, even my 4 year old son commented on that. Not so much with the layer and trub. How does one rectify that?
