Laoshan Alkaline Mineral Water

28 days ago

I think this mineral water has been on our shelves for decades already. I only realize it these few days when I was looking for some glass bottles. Surprisingly, the mineral water is kept in a green glass bottle which is weird since most of the mineral water we have in Singapore are stored in plastic bottles. Perhaps that it why this mineral water is more expensive. And it is from China. They label it as “Alkaline Mineral Water”. I had thought that most mineral waters should be relatively neutral compared to the rest of the drinks we have. But if it is truly alkaline, then it is good since most of the foodstuff we eat nowadays are often too acidic in the body. It is definitely better to have some balance when it comes to the food we consume.

One bottle is about 75 cents and contains about 270ml of alkaline mineral water. The water is good for making beer since it contains a good amount of minerals for active fermentation. Never use distilled water to make your beer or you will find your fermentation lacking.

Nice? One green bottle of the Laoshan Akaline Mineral Water.

From some old mountain in Qingdao or something. Hopefully it is not just plain water or something. You will never know from all these China made products. Kind of scared after that milk incident a while back. Hopefully they have improved their standard and quality now.

Okay, Laoshan Alkaline mineral water is a pleasant table water, bottled from the spring of the famous Mount Laoshan and contains various kinds of mineral elements, with a tradition of quality since 1905. Great. And it might just be what I need for my mead as well. The problem with making mead is that honey lacks the nutrients the yeasts need for a good fermentation (and hence a good tasting mead). Helping them out by using mineral water should produce a better mead. I hope.
