Beerstone
« on: February 07, 2016, 11:54:51 am »
Is there ever a NEED to clean beerstone out of the brew kettle? Will it ever effect taste or performance of the kettle?

It could affect kettle performance if you let it build up to a ridiculous amount.

Do you have actual deposits? What sort of water do you brew with?

Low calcium can actually produce the condition leading to beerstone. Make sure you add enough calcium to drop the oxalate in the mash.
