I almost didn’t ask this question out of fear it would be perceived as the obligatory “stupid question.” At risk of that...
Everyone on this forum had to have made their first barrel of salt water at some point in your journey? Right?
My water is reading 1.026 and has been holding that for a week now. I made 50 gallons and used FritzPRO R.P.M. Salt Mix Bag. There is a salt film covering the inside of my barrel and everything in it (a heater and a pump) I have cleaned it all off a few times now and it keeps coming back. It just won’t dissolve. Is that normal?
Also, I didn’t think about light getting in the barrel this week while I was messing with it. Light will let algae start growing in there... right?
Is this water okay to use, or should I just dump it, sterilize everything and start over?
