Beer is a rich source of dietary silicon which is readily absorbed by the body. This silicon comes from two natural sources – water and barley (The Brewer of Europe, 2004). In the form of silicate, it is soluble as a colloid and can be detected in all beer hazes (Kunze, 2004 ).<ref name=monmay>Montanari L, Mayer H, Marconi O, Fantozzi P.

Another component worth looking at in brew water is silica. Silica also has limited solubility in water and therefore should be removed to levels below 25 ppm<ref name=eumbam>Eumann M.
