Yesterday, for my brewing liquor build from distilled, I added all minerals to the heated full volume strike (I no sparge). I inadvertently added the pickling lime along with all other additions to include rehydrated Brewtan B. Right after I did it I had a ‘Duh’ moment knowing I’ve read in “Water Knowledge” by Martin that I should have added everything but the lime to the water and added the lime to the mash. Anyway, I pumped the hot strike into the MLT and noticed the residual had a brown tinge to it. It was more concentrated color than the rehydrated Brewtan B. I expected but did not see residual calcium in the bottom of the BK. What do you think the redial Brown tinged liquid was?
