Water boil conditioning temp drop when is it ready ?

Post by setmash » Sun Apr 07, 2013 1:48 pm

Hi guys,

I currently boil my water (about 95l) the night before a brew to get all the calcium to drop out. Over the past few brews Ive noticed a differing amount of calcium drop out of the water. My question is how long should i leave it to drop out and is this effected by the final temperature ? The morning after the temp is never below 40C should i let it go down further ? i.e. leave to cool for 48 hours - would like to avoid as will use more energy in HLT bringing it up to strike temp.

Thanks

Rich
