I've had my tap water (left) and RO water (right) analysed by Ward labs to get a baseline of my water source and RO filtration.
I had these two samples tested ~6 months apart. I can only assume that the public utility district changed sources in that time considering my RO water (right) TDS only dropped by ~20%. I believe that RO filtration systems typically see a reductino in TDS of 90+% I've sampled my water (before and after) with a cheap TDS meter and see the expected reduction in TDS so I don't think that my RO system in faulty or misconfigured. Regularly monitoring the RO water with a TDS monitor will allow me to keep tabs on my RO membranes and replace them as necessary.

Well, since COVID-19 has put the kibosh on most beer competitions for the foreseeable future, I've set a 2021 goal to work my way through the 2015 BJCP style guide. There are some 80+ styles defined in the guide so this shall mark the beginning of an epic journey. The first section covers Standard American Beer:
American Light Lager (1A) America Lager (1B) Cream Ale (1C) American Wheat Beer (1D) I'll be tackling 1A and 1B simultaneously because of the extended lagering time and will then move on to 1C and 1D. My hope is to brew all four in January. https://www.bjcp.org/docs/2015_Guidelines_Beer.pdf Up |
