Exactly as it should be. Welcome. What sort of stuff do you like drinking and brewing?
It’s amazing how the water supply can be so variable - I’m about 30miles from St Andrews and our water is best suited to pale ales and lagers.
I know, it's crazy. Where I am we used to get Dundee water when it was piped across the bridge and it's among the softest in Scotland. Now we get Lomond Hills water which is full of 'stuff'. Swings and roundabouts I suppose.
Next time I want to make a dark beer I’ll remember to go over to my wife’s uncle’s house in Glenrothes with a 20L water carrier!
You'll need a few of those. As well with a trailer and 500l IBC tank. Now that would keep you going a while...
I’m not a massive fan of dark beers so 20-30L would be fine. I’ve only done anything darker than an amber ale 3 times - a Christmas beer, a stout and a Dubbel, and the latter doesn’t use the same water profile as British dark beers.
