Vitamin C for chloramine

As my town water is treated with chloramine I would like to remove it for fermenting.

I understand a small amount of Vitamin C will serve the purpose. I have "Ester-C".

From the Linus Pauling Institute,

"Ascorbate and vitamin C metabolites (Ester-C�)

Ester-C� contains mainly calcium ascorbate, but also contains small amounts of the vitamin C metabolites, dehydroascorbic acid (oxidized ascorbic acid), calcium threonate, and trace levels of xylonate and lyxonate."

Anyone understand enough chemistry to tell me if this will disable chloramine in tap water?
