Changing my central heating

[gingerjedi]

Having seen the crap that lives on our roof & gutters, I wouldn't be that keen - it would cost me more to maintain the roof/collection system each year that I'd benefit from being off mains water.

I used to work with a guy who had a stint working with water distribution, he wasn't rich or trendy but he only ever drank bottled water. I never asked why as I really didn't want to know.

Pretty sure it gets well treated after being in the reservoir?

What's wrong with malt, hops, brewer's yeast or water?

Nothing at all, but thats not all that goes into it.

There is a reason the breweries have resisted putting ingrediant lists on the cans.

Is rain water safe to drink?

If you start taking on rain water then might bill you.

Nope, tried Babelfish and Google Translation, neither of them could make any sense of that.

Is rain water safe to drink?

Not as safe as one might imagine, in large quantities, like drinking melted snow.

The problem is that unlike ground water it contains no minerals. So if you drink too much it dissolves minerals out of your body, bones for example.

I suppose with a balanced diet it would be OK though.

For example :

Betaglucanase - An enzyme used to breakdown proteins which can interfere with the clarification of wort and filtration of beer; also used in the animal feed industry.

Ammonia caramel - Colouring and Flavoring

Rhoiso-alpha acids - Additive used to create a stable head on the beeer and leave those nice rings on the glass as you drink it.

Sulphur dioxide - Antibiotic and anti-oxidant used to prolong the shelf life of the beer.

Protease - Also used to breakdown proteins produced in the brewing process and improve the filtration process.

Amyloglucosidase - Used to speed up the breakdown of starch into sugar to speed up the fermentation process.

Propylene glycol alginate - an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener used as a foam stabiliser in brewing.

Silicon - Used as an anti foaming agent during the brewing process.

At the moment it uses gas which is quite expensive.

Do you think I could get the boiler modified to run on bank notes? Specifically GBP bank notes? I think it would be cheaper if it ran on burning paper currency.
