There are many different types of beer which calls for many different types of ingredients. By simple definition, beer is any fermented beverage crafted with a cereal grain. The four main ingredients included in any beer are as follows:
  • Grain (mostly malted barley)
  • Hops
  • Yeast (responsible for the fermentation)
  • WATER
Each ingredient can give your beer different color, clarity, and flavor. You can have the highest quality hops and grains but if you use sub-standard water, it will ruin every batch of beer.
Water is very important to any type of cooking, In fact, clean odorless or taste free water can have a huge impact to the taste of your recipe.

This is equally important when brewing your own beer or wine.

Water composes 90% to 95% of beer and wine batches by mass, which makes it the most substantial ingredient in the process. The chemistry of the water can and will influence not only the taste but the brewing efficiency of your beer or wine. Why would you start off your beer or wine batch on the wrong foot by using water that could make all your hard work null and void with a funk, bad tasting batch of beer?
Avoid these Additives if brewing beer or wine.If your home’s water is being supplied by a municipality, then you are most likely adding chlorine and other chemicals to your beer or wine. Chlorine is present in most municipal water supplies. It is added to water to eliminate bacteria or other containments that could cause your water to be unhealthy to consume. See why municipalities continue to treat water with chlorine.
Your municipality makes your water safe to drink, however, excessive chlorine can greatly affect other beer ingredients, resulting in a harsh aroma and bad flavor.
Fluoride is also adding in municipal water. Municipalities treat water with fluoride, but it continues to be a hot debate. Here are a few ways to remove fluoride from your water.
One of the best ways to remove these additives from your water is to buy filtered bottled water from your neighborhood store or use an Okey Water filter which will remove/ reduce these additives up to 99%, right from your own faucet.
So for all of you beer and wine master brewers getting ready to mix up your next batch of ale or vino, don’t forget the importance of filtered water. Knowing that most homebrewers are probably using some type of purified water, why not try using a filter from Okey Water, LLC. You won’t have to preplan how much water to buy at the store or forget to do it and get stuck having to run to the store.
If you have an Okey Water filter installed in your home, your clean odor/ chlorine free water literally at you finger tips. Check out our full line of home water filters or call us today at 1-800-321-0602.

What Is Better For You- Bottled Water Or Tap Water?

Everyone knows that drinking an adequate amount of water is critical to our survival, but should we worry about whether we get our water from a bottle with a nice label or from the kitchen sink? According to Mr. Benjamin Grumbles, the head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s water programs says “It’s an urban myth that bottled water is safer than tap water .” Many consumers admit to actually drinking both tap water and bottled water. For most people, if you have a filter at home, you probably could not distinguish the taste between the two. Nearly half of bottled water comes from a tap not the artisan springs and beautiful tropical waterfalls as we would like to imagine. In those cases, the water is filtered in many of the same ways as a home water filter works, except on a much larger scale. Chlorine and other contaminants are removed from the water prior to bottling. If you are still trying to decide between the two, there is no question that tap water is bett...
