  Hmm I really like the idea of using Bru'N Water to get me in the ballpark then do a really
  small test batch to refine. I thought I was making it easy by using DI/RO water but I seem to

  No. Step one is to find out what is in your water! Then the brewer can start thinking about
  what their water may or may not need. A pH meter is a nice addition to a brewer's tools. But it
  is not truel...
