I recently landed a very small part-time job as an assistant brewer at a small brewpub with a 3.5 barrel brewery. After assisting with one full brewday I was surprised to find that they are not filtering or treating their city tap water for chlorine and chloramines which I know are present in the water supply. On the homebrew level I have always used campden tablets to deal with chloramines. I realize that a carbon block filter would be the ideal solution, but one of those does not appear to be on the horizon in the near future.
In the 3.5 barrel-ish brewpub world is anyone out there using campden tablets or Potassium Metabisulfite to treat their water for chloramines?
