Dec 24, 2018 at 15:58 comment added farmersteve Campden tablets are nothing more than potassium metabisulfite which is used around the world in wine. They make wine in France, right ;-) Each tablet contains .44 grams of sulfite, enough to neutralize chlorine problems in your water en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campden_tablet
Dec 23, 2018 at 16:43 comment added chthon @ChrisCirefice: Campden tablets are something of the UK & the US, just a fancy name and branding of disulfites. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfite#Examples_of_disulfites.
Dec 23, 2018 at 14:02 comment added Chris Cirefice So you don't think that high temperature during fermentation or the amount of yeast pitched is the problem? I don't know the water chemistry here in France... I'll ask the microbrewery down the street what they do just in case. If it is indeed the water, would letting the water sit overnight allow enough chlorine to evaporate? This article suggests so. I just don't want to waste money on bottled water if I don't have to, and I don't know about the availability of Campden tablets here in France.
