Chlorine in ChCh water

[Reebs]

Now that Chlorine is being added to ChCh water (presumably in all supplies) is there anything special I should be doing to eliminate it when I brew?

 

Not really spent much time previously manipulating water chemistry when brewing but recent down events got me thinking about it.

 

Anyone presently do anything, do I even need to wory about it?

 

Cheers

Hi Chris, 

It's definitely chlorine, which makes things easier. 

Sodium metabisulfite at higher concentrations is a shit sanitizer with pretty noxious fumes, but at these quantities- 0.6 grams/30litres, it's converted in the reaction and completely undiscernable. Campden tablets are potassium metabisulfite, so they work exactly the same.
