NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500

subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

I guess it wouldn't be good to ask

AJ what he thinks of just

dechlorinating and using 5.2 for

pH. :)

Does RO water have the trace

elements yeast like/need?

Subject: Water profiles

Dear Friends,

In #5818, AJ gives a friendly shout-out:

"Yes, HBD was, in its glory days, the place to go for water profile
data and discussion. IIRC it really got kicked off when Dave Draper
published a set of water profiles for all the famous brewing spots in
the world e.g. Pilsen, Munich, Dublin... "

Despite many moves and gyrations, my beer pages remain intact... the
link in my .sig block takes you there, and the direct shot to the
water composition tables is:

Thanks for tipping the cap AJ!

Cheers, Dave in Seabrook (TX)
