    Ro water , Boil salts vs adding to hlt sparge water

    The other time I would run into this is if I was doing a smaller batch and needed to keep my herms coil covered. I havnt figured out on beersmith how to get it to calculate the brew salt additions for the unused water if treating the sparge water. And that would be a waste of salts

    Ro water , Boil salts vs adding to hlt sparge water

    I'm overfilling my hlt for the first batch of my double batch brew day so I have enough ro water on hand for the second batch between the hlt and ro storage tanks

    Ro water , Boil salts vs adding to hlt sparge water

    Basically I should be good sparging with straight ro then, and add my salts to the boil kettle. I'll try it tomorrow

    Aggressive as in it will corrode/ dissolve brass copper iron

    Ro water , Boil salts vs adding to hlt sparge water

    I'm mostly worried about tannin extraction because ro water is so aggressive. And if anyone has done both ways and seen any difference in there beer quality

    Ro water , Boil salts vs adding to hlt sparge water

    I've always added my brewing salts to my strike water and hlt and sparged with the treated water. I use ro water and was wondering if anyone sparged with straight ro water that's ph adjusted and if they noticed anything negative from adding the salts to the boil kettle vs the sparge water?

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Has anyone tried attaching there conical sample valve to there 1.5 butterfly with wracking arm so your last gravity reading flushes the remaining yeast out of the wracking arm before pressure transfer?

    Help me decide between Spike CF10 and SSBrewtech Unitank

    I currently have the cf15 and was looking to get a second one bbl fermenter, the points that made me pull the trigger on the Cf30 were fact that I have a removable carbstone that will work for both (I dont like leaving a carbstone in there to plug up). Cip cleaning seems to be much more...

    Spike - Steam Condenser Lid

    If I wanted to connect the spray nozzle to my city water connection instead of the pump how many psi do you reccomend I supply to the spray nozzle for optimum efficiency?

    Spike - Steam Condenser Lid

    How much water does it use in an hour? Can you run a pump in a bucket and just recirculate the same liquid? Or does it need to be hooked to cold high pressure water?
