    Hi guys, just wanted to ask if anyone using 3% hydrogen peroxide to remove chlorine from your strike/sparge water? If yes how many ml/l or gallon?
    Thank you.

    Will it change/ add anything to the water besides removing the chlorine?

    Just curious.

    If you click on the link in Dave's (@dmtaylor) post #2 above you will read:

    "This should also acidify the water significantly, from a pH that might start close to 8, down to a pH in the 6's, because the alkaline nature of the hypochlorite will basically be converted into hydrochloric acid when the oxygen all goes up & out."

    Maybe there are other impacts beyond the above?

    Cheers!
