Water Filtering in bulk

Right, so everyone knows that tap city water is shit. It comes packed with all kinds of nasties and most harmful to brewing is chlorine. We own a water purifier for drinking water but they are expensive to buy and they take a long time to filter water because they are gravity driven.

A typical brew of beer takes 23 liters of water and my personal water purifier in the kitchen can do 1 liter an hour and store 6 liters total. This means I am filling the damn thing up over and over and waiting ages for the filtration to occur.

Armed with only the desire to be lazy and an extra brewing vessel compliments of the father-in-law I had another brain wave. Off to the hardware store!!

1. 10 Liter Bucket 1$
2. Carbon Water Filter 20$
 3. Existing brewing vessel that can hold 23 liters of water FREE

Now what? Well its quite simple actually. Make a hole in the bucket with a screw driver, put the filter in with the supplied rubber seals just like on my kitchen vessel, put the bucket on top of the brewing vessel. BAM!

Since this bad boy bucket holds 10L the force on the filter is higher (due to the weight of the water) and the filtration happens much quicker even if it less effective - I am okay with this. I purchased a 2nd bucket for filling the first easily (Again lazy coming through).
