How many have you entered?
None for this go 'round. In fact, I only have one beer on tap!!! (I have 15 gals in the pipeline though).

I just did the googles on chloramines and it seems you can find any answer you want. Lots of conflicting information.

I think carbon filters do remove chloramines but you need to run the water through slowly. I run my brewing water through a filter but then I add a bit of potassium metabisulfate to the water to get rid of any chloramines that make it through.

I have some in tablet form, but I also have it as a powder. I add the equivalent of 1/2 a tablet to 10 gal of water.
