Do to many reasons, I will be using RO or perhaps nano filtered water for brewing purposes. I will also have to use a plastic cold liquor tank stored in my cold room for storing the RO water. This will be used for cooling the wort and be recaptured into my HLT for brewing.
Since I thought that the water in the CLT will sit for quite some time between brews, I thought a UV filter could be used to sterilize the water before it goes into the tank. I have never brewed in a brewery that uses a CLT before so I am not sure if this is required.
Is there any reason to not brew with water that has been exposed to UV? Is it necessary in this instance? Should I fill my CLT up with water a day before I brew to minimize time sitting in the tank?
Thanks for any suggestions
