Do Higher Mash Efficiencies Affect Malt Flavor?

I'll confer with my scientist brew buddy, he's in charge of the water profile.
That cream of three crop is my first correctly treated brew, and it's cold crashing now.
I might try some spring water with a brew, but I need to see what I can do with treating my tap first.

Enjoying your vids by the way.

He'd definitely know better than me or you. Like I said, it was just a guess. If I remember, you're treating it with the lime to get rid of magnesium?

Enjoyed your brew day vid a lot. Really like your setup. I'll slowly get through the rest.

Yes, high concentration of the lime to get rid of magnesium from that water, then mix it with another equal amount water to rid the bicarbonate. Best you can do is get rid of half of the magnesium, but it's better than nothing.
