I'd like to use the 5 gallon Deep Rock bottled water for brewing, as it's really convenient for me. Will it work, or is the mineral content too high? Does anyone have experience using it?
 
If it's the Deep Rock here in Colorado it comes from an 800 foot deep well in Denver. My well water is similar, high in carbonates (pH 8+). It's a little low on calcium and around 50 ppm sodium. It's fine for brewing although I do adjust pH in the mash sometimes. Lately I've mostly been using RO water and building it up to what I want.
