Morning brewers!
I brew with a grainfather and am trying to streamline my brew day, and wondered if you could help.
Currently I put all my water in my grainfather, then leave it overnight for the chlorine to dissipate out of solution. The next morning I add my mineral additions and heat to strike temperature before doughing-in. I know there are no chloramines used to treat my water supply.
My question is this, if I were to add my mineral additions the night before brewing (ie before leaving the water out so the chlorine can gas off) are they going to react with the chlorine which is in solution to form any compounds that could affect my brew?
I find that with my water profile, which is very soft, I only need to use calcium sulfate, calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate to get my water where I need it to brew IPAs.
Thanks very much for your help!
