FAQ
Question: What is the difference between mashing and dilution water?
Answer:
Mashing/Sparging water: Brew water used to extract fermentable compounds from malt. It directly impacts mash pH, enzymatic activity, extract efficiency and wort flavour.
Dilution water: Brew water added post-boil to adjust beer concentration or make up for water lost during alcohol removal. It must be microbiologically safe and flavour-neutral since it is not reboiled.
