Water-Iron Removal
Question:
: I am looking for an inexpensive way of removing iron (approx. 2.5 ppm) : from my water for brewing. : Softening is used, but causes complications in the brewing process. Have you tried filtering through activated carbon? I believe it will remove some iron and will also help reduce/remove chlorine as well.

: I am looking for an inexpensive way of removing iron (approx. 2.5 ppm) from my water for brewing. : Softening is used, but causes complications in the brewing process. : Any suggestions?? I have iron, Sulfer, and hardness. I have two filters. One is the softner, which is suppose to also remove some iron. The other is an iron and sulpher filter. I bypass the softner when I brew, and only let the water pass thru the iron/sulfer filter for brewing. Kind of expensive for brewing, but I needed it for the rest of the house anyhow. — Sysop – Home Brew University BBS Brew City Campus 414-238-9074 Genealogy Search: Brickner, Kane, Kimbro, LaClaire, Snyder|Snider, Seecs|Seetch|Sich, and Thorton.
