Water 101 – Ingredients Series
Season 2, Ep. 24
We wrap up the basics of our ingredient series with the unsung hero: H2O! Despite it covering most of Earth’s surface and making up most of our own bodies, we often take water for granted. We need this precious liquid to survive- on its own and in other drinks/ foods. Along with malted grain, hops, and yeast…water completes a beer recipe. It can come from many sources, be hard or soft, and be treated in various ways. Additionally, it is used in cleaning and waste removal. Our hosts Katie and Thandi chatted with friend of the pod Chelsea Merrick, a Senior Process Engineer specialising in water treatment.
