Braj! Love the new vid, the enthusiasm, and making this material accessible to people. Biochem PhD student here and I think I can offer some unprompted clarity that no one asked for. There are a few terms I think you mixed up in the early part of the video but its really not the end of the world: When you're talking abut positive and negative elements you mean positive and negative ions. What differentiates elements from one another is the number of protons they have (also elements can be different isotopes based on how many neutrons they have). Protons and neutrons hang out in an atom's nucleus and electrons surround the nucleus. Atoms start out at a neutral charge, having the same number of protons and electrons, but some elements either want more electrons or want to ditch their electrons based on other chemistry mumbo jumbo that's not that important right now. Once atoms obtain a charge (either by gaining electrons, becoming negative, or losing electrons, becoming positive) we call them ions. The plus or minus next to the element's symbol refer to the charge on the ion. These ions are very soluble in water and a salt is just an inorganic (meaning it lacks carbons) ionic compound, made up of a balance of positive and negative charges, that is dry and not dissolved in water. Think of Na+ and Cl- making table salt, NaCl, or Ca2+ and SO4 2- making up gypsum, CaSO4. I'm pretty sure RO filters take advantage of the presence of these charges to hold onto/hold back the ions while pushing through (relatively) pure water. To get closer to pure you would need "deionized" water, which has the ions removed and is something we use in the lab, but for brewing this is waaaaay overkill and would be prohibitively expensive (you need special equipment to obtain it). Even distilled water isn't totally pure and you can look up water reports for different companies online that have all the dissolved solids listed. Using it still probably is the best/most cost effective was to get the closest reasonable thing to pure water and definitely makes sense if your seeing weird stuff with your seltzer. From parts of the country where drinking water mostly comes from reservoirs that collect rainwater runoff and is treated at plants, the water is pretty soft. Hard water is generally common where municipalities get their drinking water from underground aquifers. So if you're in the middle of the country you're dealing with hard water and if it rains a lot where you're at you might have soft water. Tap water does often have chlorine or chloramine which can be a real problem, but I just heat my strike water with a crushed campden tablet and hope for the best. Haven't been burned yet! Your point about picking stuff up in the old pipes on the way from the plant, however, is a great one, and now I'm really curious about what's in mine! Also, John and Mike, local NE boys from the youtube channel Brew Dudes, have some great insight on water chem. Now with the boring stuff out of the way: I don't know as much as I'd like to about the biochemistry of the enzymes in the mash, but it makes a lot of sense to me that they would be most efficient if they have an optimal concentration of certain ions, notably calcium and magnesium ions, in solution, since these are very common cofactors necessary for the function of plenty of enzymes. Picking optimal salt concentrations goes hand in hand with selecting an optimal mash temp and pH: the enzymes work best over specific ranges of all of these things and what we pick allows the variety of enzymes in the mash to function well and convert the starch to sweet wort. It's crazy to think how much we know about it now and still brajs thousands of years before us at least mostly figured out how to make it work. Aite essay over, keep spreading the way of the braj. Lmk if you ever want a second set of eyes on chemistry scripts so you don't have to deal with nerds like me in the comments lol edit: weird formatting

It is very much true that beer salts have been tied to beer styles. The first recorded attempts at brewers in Europe trying to replicate an English ale are adding salts (most often gypsum) to approximate Burton England water. I've tended to follow the Dublin target for stouts...which thought has been that increasing bicarbonate levels help with keeping astringency at bay. Dang KZbin: have great external link about European water chemistry....but won't keep my post if I do try to link.

This video was worth the wait. I usually use Brewers friend so this is perfect for me. HB4L gold right here. Just to throw in my two cents. If you want ro water at home a saltwater filter system is the way to go. Not too expensive but its slow. Just pipe it to a large cooler or a Brute trash barrel with a lid. Put a float valve inside. you get anywhere from 25 to 200 gallons per day depending on the system. Get the electronic ppm meter. I got mine at bulk reef supply. Thanks Braj.

Good video man. I've been getting into water chemistry recently but still have so much to learn. Over in London our tap water is super super hard, good for dark beers and not much else. For my most recent IPA brew, I used BeerSmith and a local water report to calculate a blend of tap water and the bottled mineral water from a local shop (super soft) to get a water profile with a 1:1 ratio. Just needed 1 gram each of gypsum and calcium chloride. Blending saved me money on water, I needed to add less salts, and saved me the effort of carrying an extra 5 litres back from the local shop. I don't know what the point of this comment was, other than blending water made me feel like an alchemist.

Found out some useful information I’d like to share. So using R.O is pretty much as close as it gets to distilled water ( 7 ph, or 0 ppm using TDS meter). What you can do instead of buying 10 gallons of distilled water for $10 is go to a R.O water machine and using a TDS meter to measure the ppm. You want to get to as close at 0 ppm and use that instead of distilled, which is way cheaper for pretty much the same thing. I went to 4 water machines near me and the lowest one I found was 4ppm, which isn’t that bad so I’m going to use that specific water machine for brewing and 5 gallons is 1.75 $
