I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but...
I'm finishing up an automated brewstand w/ BCS 460, two 220v coils for the mash and an automated burner for the boil. For simplicity and space I want to use two pots (MLT, BK) and simply heat my sparge water as it comes in.
My question is this - what filter should I get? Ideally I will be able to stay away from full RO and get the "least filtering" filter - I've had efficiency success building up my sparge water in the past so stripping it all the way down to RO might have a negative effect.
My tests from the tap:
60 ppm chloride
200 ppm total alkalinity
50 ppm sulfate
270 ppm hardness
130 ppm calcium hardness
140 ppm magnesium hardness
31.14 ppm sodium
City water report w/ ranges: http://www.santabarbaraca.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=64543
Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
