Dear Forum,
In about 2 months we will start brewing and I needed to solve my hard water issue. I've been avoiding it for sometime.
I wanted to purchase a RO system and at a minimum dilute our municipality water but had to cut it out.
We are primarily going to brew low SRM and hoppy beers and not sure what is the most effective water treatment on a per batch basis.
I plan on using acidulated malt to lower pH. I was also curious what dosage is a good starting point for phosphoric acid additions to my hard ass water.
I am working on getting a the mineral composition of my local water, so i understand that we are dealing in generalities here.
Just wanted to hear input on some of the techniques brewers are using to deal with hard water and brewing low SRM beers.
If anyone has a suggestion for a low cost RO system for a 10bbl brewhouse that would be cool also!
Cheers,
Ben
