Calling all midwest brewers ; )
I am setting up a brewery from the ground up. I have some concerns about the amount of CaCO3 in the Southeast Ohio water we are using, not for the wort production so much as the effect of scale build-up on equipment. We will have a tankless water heater, and I know we can de-scale it, but I am thinking about what I need to remove the CaCO3 before it gets to the tankless water heater. We will also have a HLT heated by an electric element which it could cause issues with.
So, how do I get out the CaCO3, or do I just not worry about it? Can certain types of carbon filters, or other filters, remove or reduce it?
Thanks for the help.
