Without any warning the Tampa plant has been bagging quikrete with white portland in it. (sold at Lowes) I suppose it has to do with the cement shortage we are having in S. Fla. If you like bone white concrete this is a great deal but you might end up with Palomino concrete if you mix lots. It is fairly easy to spot if you see a busted bag on the pallet. The concrete will be a tad lighter than usual and a softer texture. I have been seeing it off and on for a few weeks now and I just scored 12 bags to finish a project I started "white". There was some of both in the store but no real indication on the bag other than the look of the cement in the concrete. I had to dig around a little to find white. The store manager still denies any knowlege of it as does the Lowes web site but the slabs I have poured are undisputable.
