Water Treatment and pH Measurement
Unlock the full potential of your homebrew by mastering water chemistry. From enhancing hop bitterness to balancing malt sweetness, proper water adjustments can make all the difference. Carbon filtration can help remove chlorine, chloramine, and other impurities, ensuring your water is pure and ready for brewing. Whether you're looking to boost sulfate levels with gypsum for a sharper hop profile or add calcium chloride to bring out the malt character, we have all the essential water treatment supplies.
Need to adjust pH? Fine-tune your mash with lactic acid or phosphoric acid for optimal enzymatic activity. Plus, you’ll find pH test strips and meters here to ensure precision in every batch. With the right tools and adjustments, you’ll be brewing your best beer yet.
