This lesson deals with the various physical and chemical procedures that we can use to treat all water supplied to the brewery. It also examines the processes used to make water potable (if the water supplied to the brewery is not already potable).
We will also explore all additional treatment processes that we can use to prepare water to the correct quality specifications, making it fit for use as brewing product water.
