Once again, thanks everyone for your replies... RO is reverse osmosis, right? Where do you guys get RO water from? Do you all buy the equipment for that (doesn't seem cheap) or can I buy the water in store? We have a RO water cooler/conversion set up, but I don't think I want to fill up...

OK, I do have campden tablets at home since I've tried making couple small patches of fruit wine. I will definitely employ those next time I brew. I feel like a total noob when it comes to water treatment. I will definitely do some reading when I get a chance. I did quick search for water...

I do fly-sparge, and I guess I could be oversparging.... What I meant was 1) rest at 122, then add hot water to get to 154, and at the end sparge with 170. Sometimes if I can't get my mash to 154 I would drain part of it , heat it up and return to the cooler. I could certainly try that...
