That looks pretty cool. They sort of glossed over the amount of evaporation you'd get running that in your kitchen though :) You'd need some type of hood.
I do full volume mash. PH last mash was 5.5. Due to my water not being great I do 90% RO, 10% filter tap water and some salt additions(gypsum, calcium chloride, and Epsom salts).
Maybe the flavor im bothered by isnt oxidation.
I've noticed what I think is oxidation in my beers. I'm going to send one into a competition to get an expert opinion, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
I do biab. I've been transfering to secondary (if I do one) and to the serving keg with co2 so I'm pretty sure its happening in my...

Sorry to go off on my own tangent but there seems to be a lot of experience with these elements here...
I use a 5500 ULWD Camco with an Auber SSVR. Is the response non-linear? I typically boil 7-8 gallons of wort with it set to 8 out of 10 on the dial. That is a very strong boil. If I run...

I've been trying to input the numbers from my well report (#25) into the brunwater spreadsheet and can't get the ions to balance.
Does anyone in Madison use the excel sheet? I do biab and because of the large water volume and our high alkalinity my mash ph (measured with a calibrated ph...
