filtering tap water

[Jensen]

I have found that to be the case with so many fine beers that I drink from our club off the Clinton tap Andy. And quite frankly RO is a lot of work... You are right the water dept does offer analysis of both taps, actually every 3 months. I'll take charge getting those releases, and work with Sean to sticky post them for both the Clinton and Kaw taps.

Any word on this?

The lady down at the water department is setting us up for water reports for both taps. Lots of info on them, will be working on formatting for the forum. Should have them posted in the near future- in native format, and hopefully in a format that will give a brewer the info he/she is looking for in a concise format.

What kind of filter are you using/thinking about using?

Damn, you are good

This is what I went with. The GE seemed to be the most ergonomic, and had the widest choices of filtration available. I have it set up with quick connects on the In and Out which I can close off and store. I am feeling as long as I run water through every 10-14 days the filter should stay pretty fresh. I would like to know what other people do with their filters- similar technique, take out and air dry, or freeze?

Thanks for the info, Jensen.

I may have to stop by your brewery to see how that is all setup in late march.

I air dry mine just for mold issues inside the cannister. I used to freeze but found that practice had no benefit. I dont even worry about running water thru it until brew day. But I always run a gallon or so thru the filter before putting water into my brew kettles. This practice seems to work for the last handful of years.
