I moved house last August and I treated the water of my first three brews with DWB and wasn't happy with them so the next two brews I didn't treat at all and they are much better so no water treatment again!

Re: Barkers Jail Break
All went well , got an OG of 1.043 instead of 1.039!
That gives me a mash efficiency of 89.8%!
Don't know what I do to achieve that but I usually get high 80's efficiency
The only problem I had was a stuck mash so I blew up the pipe and cleared it but when I was emptying the spent grain I found this which might have been the cause.
