Remodeling the kitchen and plan on plumbing in a KVDW Speedster. We drink RO water and to date I've been using that and adding minerals myself to my reservoir machines. I've attached my municipal water report (the Glendale column). I think my preference would be to use my RO and...
For those of you making what seems to be coined 'rpavlis water', how are you making it? I've seen it mentioned many times and I've seen some posts where people provide different measurements for it, but it wasn't until today that I looked for rpavlis' actual post that spells it...
From my home beer brewing I know my local water from Lake Huron is as follows (or very close):
Ca2+ 30ppm
Mg2+ 8
Na+ 7
Cl- 9
SO4 2- 25
HCO3 100ish
So I believe my hardness is just over 100, and my alkalinity is just over 80 - maybe?
I decided to pull the mushroom and the other things I could take off on the group head to see if I had any scale build up. This is a 2 yr. old Crem One Infuser. I have only used bottled water from Ozarka that I THOUGHT was RO water. I added the Rpavlis baking soda recipe to this...
For those that are going to dive in here, let me emphasize that the best part of this whole set up is never having to worry about your water and what's going on inside your machine. No worries about filter performance or aging, or bypass %, or the incoming water changing over...
I would love to hear some thoughts regarding brew water, I'm about to take the plunge exploring this subject and I don't want to get paralyzed by choices. Many years ago I studied organic/inorganic chemistry so I used to understand this stuff, but I'm afraid it's all been long...
In a response to a water discussion, where I stated I use 6.354445mg of baking soda, added to a gallon of distilled water, for each ppm (mg/L) Kh, someone wrote:
This will give you the ppm of each mineral in solution but most recipes assume ppm CaCO3 equivalence. So to be...
Currently have a GS3 on the way and I'm trying to land on a suitable and sustainable water source to supply the machine. I have an email out to La Marzocco to see what their response is, but everything so far has been more/less pointing back to their water...
I have a Lelit Bianca and want to plumb in the water line.
What filter system would be recommended?
one vendor recommends BWT Bestmax which would cost about $450 depending on components.
Would the BWT be overkill?
thanks
