I put to much Calcium Chloride in my Brine. I'm using water not whey. Is there anyway to reduce it other than adding more water? I have approximately 80 gals of water and I put 3.28lbs of Calcium Chloride in it.

Wow, in our Wiki: Making Brine article it recommends 1 tablespoon of CaCl2 per USG.

I have no idea how to reduce other than dilution as you said.

Perhaps sub microne filtration can capture some of the calcium,
Certifuge is another option I think.

Cheapest and easier solution will be dilution.
