Does anyone in Phoenix have a current water report?

Having lived and brewed in the Phoenix area (Tempe actually) - it would be better to buy RO and add salts. From what I remember, no one actually drinks the water from the tap - that's a bad first sign that it won't make good beer.

My two cents.

I don't have one.

I'm just about the least scientific brewer you'll meet and I won't even use the water here. Forget it entirely.

Sorry, I probably should have given a more useful response. I immediately regret this and punish myself to drinking 3 brews as penance.

But seriously, I steer clear and I find my self to be deep into the "screw it, we're making beer, there's a large degree of tolerance" school of thought.
