Howdy.
Been on a brewing hiatus for several years, and getting ready to brew again.
Have a question for folks about getting the water treatment additions to dissolve into the water.
I typically will use my RO water supply to collect water for the HLT/Sparge tank and Mash tun, then use Bru'N Water spreadsheet to figure what additions I want to use. Typically I add them into the water for each tank while the strike water and HLT are heating up. I now have a eHerms three vessel setup, but also had this issue (of getting them to dissolve) with propane direct fired vessels. So what gives? How do you get them to dissolve?? Seem fairly resistant to dissolving, especially Chalk, but also gypsum.
Was thinking to add into a mason jar and shake it up real well to see if that helps.
