I don't know where that came from. It's not the filter.... Something else I did or kept it in, buckets were not clean or somtheing..... Now the water is very clean tasting... My only concern is a very very slight a mean very Slight seawater smell( clean taste) . I don't know how to describe...

I'm happy to see people getting into this thread. Would love to come across someone else who has seen or used something like this... Guys, when I first went into the company office I told them that I need a filter for brewing beer. They told me that they have worked with several large breweries...

waste i was thinking the ro units like above stated are 5-1. i didnt mean to brew with that water only. just if my filter lets a some water through that's easier to work with for a dark beer, not have add too many salts.. ne way i guess, inst as attractive to others as it was for me....:p

thanks for the input guys. I think i am going to tackle this beast from another angle...:D here is my next question. what is the smallest batch you can do on the regular 20 liter. not OG wise, but Liter wise. (without doing a 3 hour boil ofcourse, lets keep i realistic to maybe 90 or close...

i took it to the city water lab, to get it tested. I know its not cheap and there are less expensive ro units out there, but there is no waste water here.... and lets not forget that i opted for the most expensive filter... these filters are ingeniously designed, with the bypass...

ok guys the results are in. thank you for your help by the way. i managed to get my brew done. OK so the BWT filter I have is the Bestmax clear EXTRA, its supposed to get rid of all ions.... there are 2 setting on this filter. 0= complete filtration 1= lets somewhere around 10% tap water...

Any input guys on mechanics. Differences ...

yea my point actually not the pressure tank. maybe thats just one version, but if all works well with this filter then it might be a great alternative to conventional ro filters. becuase there is no waste, (well just the 5-10l water you flush the filter with before a brew day,....

thans for the input guys. i went ahead and gotten another 30L of water for brewing from the filter, i added same salt additions, this time no bad taste... dont know what happened, well see how the brew turns out. have you guys check out the BWT filters , what do you guys think. im going to get...

UPDATE. i decided to experiment, and took 3 wine glasses filled them up with the filtered water and added a small amount to each epsom salt, gypsum, and cacl. to see maybe one of these additions made my water taste bad, the wine glasses had way more concentrated additions than my 30l so I would...

sorry guys for the late reply.... yes this filter company leaves a lot of questions i had to go in and talk to them in person.. each filter is designed to do something else. what I have got was the best CLEAR EXTRA which is a complete ion remover. other filters only soften or do other stuff...

Hey guys, well i just installed my water filter. its pretty much takes out all ions. so imleft with almost distilled water. its not an ro unit. its by a company called BWT. the water tastes fine when i got it out of the filter. But when i added the minerals to it and tried a sip, it...

thx, whats weird is that i dont notice anything in my airlock. its been a few days, so I will check a gravity reading to see it there is any difference between the two vessels. my biggest question is, will my beer end up somehow different dues to splitting batches. Im trying out a lot of...

Hey guys I decided to experiment with different dry hoping for my apa. So i decided to do small batches and split them up into 2 secondary fermenters, and I will dry hop them different when the time comes. What I did was siphon the beer into one fermenter then I filled up the other...

Update. Ok so after my 10l batch I racked off 5 into the primary. I then put the rest of the sludge in the fridge just to see how much of it would have cleared. After a day in the fridge the break settled some more. So in total my 10 l batch gave me about 2.6 l of break / grub loss . That's...

heya all I also do 2.5 gallon batches.. they are great I think!!! Question for you guys... how much break material do you have left over... I do my batches to end up with 10L ow wort, but this last time, I ended up with about 5L woth of break/trub after cooling....thats a huge loss, I do BIAB...
