Brewing Water Supply
Brewing water is a key ingredient in the brewing process, and services various purposes. Brewing water is typically sourced from municipal or lake water and undergoes a rigorous water quality treatment regimen before use in the brewing. The water used for brewing has a significant impact on the beer’s final quality. Some of the ions in it affect various aspects of brewing, such as calcium, magnesium, and sodium ions that influence the pH value, zinc ions necessary for yeast growth, and iron ions that can inhibit saccharification. Brewing water can be used for different beer types based on the water’s quality.
