Description
The quality of the water that you start with will affect your final product, so take the mystery out of making great-tasting beer with the BrewLab™ Test Kit for home brewers.
- Economical, easy-to-use test kit to quickly measure the mineral content of water and allow the brewer to make informed decisions in the brewing process
- Alkalinity is the carbonate and bicarbonate content of the water, which acts to raise the pH of the mash and beer
- Chloride ion acts to bring out the sweetness and fullness of the malt flavor
- Dissolved oxygen can have both a positive and a negative impact on beer
- Fermentation itself is an anerobic process, but yeast cells require oxygen for growth
- Calcium helps prevent enzymes from denaturing and extends their activity in mash, promoting clarity, flavor and stability
- Magnesium is an important yeast nutrient
- The mineral content of the water directly affects the pH of the mash, and the pH of the mash affects the entire brewing process
- Sodium acts in concert with chloride to enhance the sweetness and fullness of the malt, but too much can oversalt the beer and result in salty or metallic flavors
- Sulfate ion acts to accenturate the hoppiness and dryness of the beer, making it more crisp tasting
- Measurement of total dissolved solids allows the brewer to quickly determine if there has been a shift or change in a water source or brewing process as well as provide a QA check on demineralization and waste treatment effectiveness
