A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Draw fresh as needed. The real shelf life here is the filter cartridge — log its change date and replace it on schedule.
Storage: Straight from the filtration system; keep the dispensing point and lines clean.
- The brewing water for espresso and filter — flavour starts in the water
- Base water for karak and every tea and herbal infusion
- Feeds the ice machine — ice is only as clean as its water
Target roughly the SCA guideline of ~150 ppm TDS for brewing water: much softer and the cup tastes hollow, much harder and the boiler scales. Check with a TDS meter periodically and after every cartridge change, and log the readings.
