I have a 30bbl system coming in February and I'm just now starting to dive into the brewing water subject. On a ten gallon level, I typically by spring water and add brewing salts as needed. Obviously at 30bbls it will be a different story.
My brewery is in south Florida so the water will be rather hard. Is it a viable option to simply strip all the minerals from the water via RO filtration and then simply add salts to the mash based on whatever alkalinity the current style calls for? I can't imagine filling the entire HLT with a style specific water profile.
Also, does anyone know of a brewing water treatment consultant? South Florida is still rather new to the brewing scene and it seems the local water filter sales people don't really know much about a brewer's needs.
