Summary

Water makes up the largest portion of beer, and yet it seems the ingredient that has gotten the least amount of attention by brewers over the years. In this episode, contributor Matt Del Fiacco joins Marshall to discuss how brewers can use reverse osmosis (RO) water as a sort of blank slate onto which various mineral profiles can be built. The Brülosophy Podcast is brought to you by Imperial Yeast who provide brewers with the most viable and fresh yeast on the market.
