I’ll check out the book but while I wait for shipping, could you share what you do with the RO water? Do you put your own mineral and salt profile into it, or just use it as pure H2O? I have an RO filter and build my own water profile for my homebrew beer, hadn’t started down that road for coffee yet.
- seanhunter 3y agoI don't do anything - I just have a regular filter but my understanding is that the people who do this do certain black magic which somewhat depends on the "hardness/softness" and ph of the water as well as other stuff but it's all in that book apparently. I don't know the details. Edit to add: Actually I just found this resource which you might find helpful https://dailycoffeenews.com/2018/08/15/a-practical-water-guide-for-coffee-professionals-part-i/ https://dailycoffeenews.com/2018/08/15/a-practical-water-gui...
- MarkMarine 3y agoI went down the rabbit hole trying to learn about this, and it’s actually pretty easy to replicate the recommended water. Home brewing (beer) water is far more complex than this. I’m going to brew some with this profile and see if I can taste the change, and if not I’m just sticking with my filtered tap water because it’s honestly pretty darn close. Just needs the chloramine taken out.
- mustacheemperor 3y ago>wait for shipping Assuming you mean the "notify when back in stock" on that website, unfortunately the book is now out of print. If anyone else has an alternative source for it, I would be interested in reading it, and it seems like it would make a great gift for my coffee-geek friends.
