Brewing Water Treatments

Water is the least understood ingredient when making great beer. John Palmer, who literally wrote the book on the subject, will help take the mystery out of water’s role in brewing and how to make better beer as a result. You’ll learn how to adjust your brewing water, understand water reports, and other vital skills any pro brewer needs to know. You’ll leave with not only an understanding of the chemistry concepts, but also the practical how-to aspects of getting the most from this critical brewing ingredient.
