Boiling water before mash

[BeerBrain83]

HI everyone,

If I was to boil my water before adding to the mash to reduce alkalinity, how long would I have to boil for? The amount of CaCo3 in my water is 335.5 and I'd prefer not to use CRS as according to Brewers Friend this pumps up my Chloride too high. Any advice very welcomed thanks.

Without going through the articles myself, good idea to bookmark these. And I am sure there is something in these articles about mash water prep.
