carbonate reducing solution

[Mark1964]

Is the above the same as calcium reducing solution, im sure it is but can someone just verify please Thanks

Do you mean AMS ?

 

[Mark1964]

Yes

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

Did you get those two bottles from my buddy?
I'm sure the instuctions were in with the AMS bottles :hmm:
As far as i'm aware it's the same as CRS, if you haven't got the instructions e.mail Rob the malt miller.

got the istructions its for reducing alkilinity carbonate reducing i assume to be calcium carbonate reducing solution

Mark, Brupaks produce CRS and Murphys produce AMS, both the same carbonate reducing solution. You may find these handy;

as well as the CRS you can then adjust for calcium, at the moment I just use calcium chloride, although I should get some of Brewpaks DLS Dry Liquor Salts.

Good luck :

CRS = AMS = Alkalinity Reduction . . . . Leaves Calcium unchanged

If you want to reduce calcium ( :wha: as to why you would want to really it's essential for good beer?) Then add some sodium phosphate and boil it. the calcium phosphate will precipitate (Probably as bone on your element :whistle: ) and then rack of the precipitate.

Thats ok its carbonate reducing solution on the bottle and it is to reduce alkilinity. My alkilinity here comes to 257 so need to add the required amount of crs depending on beer style
