just moved to gilbert

[Fractional]

so i just moved to Gilbert from Seattle 3 weeks ago i finally got my stuff unpacked and i am concerned about the water. How do others in the area take care of the water issue down here. any advice? should i just go buy an ro filter for the garage?

That's usually what I do I just buy RO water from the store.

I moved to queen creek about a year ago. The water is so mineralized I just put in an RO system and love it. Put it in the kitchen. Hooked the fridge up to it too. I just fill a bucket and carry it out to the kettle. Then I add brewing salts to the mash.

P.S I'm also looking for fellow brewers to brew or catch beers with

Fiancé is from Gilbert. I found a nice little homebrew shop on baseline rd I think when I was up there for Christmas. Good luck on the water. I hope to move out there someday.

Congrats Ken. What kind of setup are you starting with?

 

[crikhop]

What's your fav beer?

 

[Fractional]

hi ken. what you going to brew?

 

[crikhop]

A tropical pale ale. But my favs are porters, aged oak, etc.

 

[crikhop]

What's your name? Do u brew?

 

[brooklanebrewing]

I like all beer but if I had to choose my favorite beer is hefeweizen. I'm currently sucking a Belgian homebrew. Galaxy hops are sweet in a tropical pale ale at flameout. Good for pineapple aroma. Are you doing extract or all grain?
