Via a combination of the calculator links on the website and welsh water composition, I'm ready to do my first water treatment.
I stand corrected when I said on a previous post they must have changed over to chloramine as I was getting a thin film on the top of a cup of tea. Apologies for this.![Oops! :oops: :oops:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
It does mean that boiling the water will remove the chlorine. It does require a longer boiling time that a kettle is on but a 20 mins + boil removes it. I only do a part boil of less than 20 mins so I don't have to change anything to my existing process. I do know a local brewer uses standard tap water and just adds gypsum and their pale beers are amazing, so maybe I don't even need a campden tablet?
