Water

Water is a key ingredient as it makes up 95% of the finished product!

The important considerations are the levels and type of salts in the water as when salts dissociate into their ions they are made available to interact with other components. In brewing, ions have three basic effects:

ph balance
Enzyme activation
Inhibition and taste

Fyne Ales use water from a natural highland supply which is regularly analysed. The water is very "soft". We know that it contributes to the quality of our ales.
