any of you use the RO systems at winn dixie (etc)? i usually buy gallons of distilled, but curious if i could assume the RO are a decently neutral starting point


I’ve done it twice. Supposed to be very neutral like distilled. However, I noticed no perceivable difference between RO and tap water with the appropriate salts. That being said, BR has excellent water for brewing, IMO.

Also, I did this early on I’m my brewing so I may or notice a difference today as my brewing has improved dramatically.

I live outside Walker. My water is too hard to do anything with besides darker beers. If i brew anything less than SRM 10 i have to add too much acid which brings a tangy taste. If i don't add acid then I get a harsh taste like dry champagne.
