Terrible water or terrible water for brewing?
BR has some of the best water in the nation.
Both, I'd assume. But definitely bad for brewing. Anita has a swamp arse after taste like I've never tasted before.
And there's no way Baton Rouge has done of the nation's best water. You're downstream on the Mississippi, in a swampy area, with a ton of industrial and Petro chemical plants upstream. That's basically worst case scenario for good water.
I've lived in the Appalachians and the Rockies... That's good, clean water.

Your knowledge is astounding.

taste wise, it is
chemistry wise...I don't know
but you can change the chemistry of the water

Baton Rouge water is fine for brewing. All mineral content is below 7 ppm except for Sodium which is around 70. The bicarbonate are mid range (160s I believe) and the pH is slightly higher than most places (8.8).
If a professional was worried about any of that they would spend the extra money on an RO system to dilute or replace their tap water, which is fairly common these days
But why let facts to get in the way when you can just talk out of your arse.

You do know that water is modified in nearly every brewery right? Some breweries that do not have access to good water, use an RO system (Reverse Osmosis) which acts as a blank slate to add salts to get desired profile for desired style. Baton Rouge has excellent water for brewing that requires minimal additions depending on style.

Google Southern Hills Aquifer. You don't really know what you are talking about in this thread.
