I just went through the TTB website and review the new regulations regarding ingredients. They added a whole bunch of adjuncts that don't require formulation filing if used.
Yet, they don't say anything about water. The only time that the term "reverse osmosis" and "ion exchange' is used is relative tho beer and not wort or water. The text implies that if one is going to use eight RO and IE in BEER, then one will have to file for formula approval.
However, this process apply for water and NOT wort or beer.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Based on the text, I concluded that if one use RO or IE treated water to only dilute city water (i.e. to mitigate hard water), then formulation filing won't be required.
Any thoughts?
