I will be checking it this Sunday. Yes the Alkalinity is that high. They do not use acid adjustments. They have actually had quite a bit of build up of which i dont know if its Beerstone or hard water scale. I think that use a caustic and follow up with an Acid and it takes care of it. I also...

Wow! you guys are harsh. I see i will have to reconsider what and how i post ? for the future. As far as water treatment options goes. sometimes ya just have to work with what ya got.

"Lime softening" i was afraid that would be the answer only because i havent done that on a homebrewer level. Maybe ill just tell them they should only be brewing stouts and porters and forget the APA IPA:) ya right! Thank you

I do not wish to offend the brewery in ? They are attempting to better themselves and thats what matters. As far as lautering or crush problems they have a looked at the crush only. I am assuming it has to do with either the conversion or the lautering phase. Brewhouse efficiency will surly be...

Well i have noticed that any and i mean any particles like hops or grain pieces are in that little drop it throws off the entire reading. It's to much of a pain in the ass to use because of that. But maybe i am doing something wrong? i just pull a little and chilled to desired temp and take a...
