Is there information out there on how Fe Iron effects the mash
and what levels are desirable?
I have been reading up on water Chemistry in Brewing but have yet to see this addressed.
Any Basic Comments? I Looking for sources that are reliable for further research.
Or is it as simple as get all the Fe out?
(In my case I am on an artesian well in Mid East WI, we do have a Iron curtain (Bubble Column) but I am not sure what else this Iron Curtain removes. Thinking of taking the water for the brew liquor pre-softener, post curtain) (I also have a RODI for zero TDS water) So I have access to 3 water types - Softened / Column Filtered / RODI) (Raw has 11-14ppm FE not an option) Hoping Column Filtered gives me low Fe and keeps a desirable RA profile
