Hi folks,
Quick question - I'm coming on board quite late to an almost ready to open new brewery (10bbl 3-vessel ABE kit - please see my other recent post about trying to decoct or cereal cook on this kit!)
...but my water question is this - the owners have our boiler water feed & brewhouse liquor piped through a carbon filter & softener.
I have never heard of a brewery using a softener to alter the brewing water profile (I'm used 100% RO or blend of mains & RO, with added salts & acid as necessary).
I need to check, but don't think our water is *super* hard, or has anything else too dodgy, so I would just expect us to be fine without the softener.
Anyone any thoughts? Should we bypass the softener?
Cheers
