@TheBeebopper But you can run your brewing water through a Brita (or copy) jug filter which will remove sufficient of the undesirables to satisfy full mash brewing. I think the grain husks draw off the last of the metals with a 1.1/2 hr mash and this is why it is important to keep the temperature moderrate with the sparge water (also filtered) and not to overdo it.

The black on your aluminium jam pan is metal deposits from your water supply. It'll likely be the copper content that is making your beer fermentation surge. My own water supply is useless because of the lead copper and iron content which is why I am not currently brewing. It's unfortunate that those of us blessed with the most versatile brewing water (acidic) picks up these undesirable heavy metals from plumbing.

@leedorham No never tried it. Might be nice though.

@DevonHomeBrew Awesome thanks.

@drolretfa As well as that after its fermented you must shake the hell out of it to remove any gas trapped in the mead/wine and then add finings let sit get a rackin cane/syphon and put into bottles also a cocker is needed if you go check out craigtubes video on wine just type in craigtube wine making and find a 4 part series you can treat the mead the same just with 1 gallon batch.
