I've come across a few post that people complain about off taste and the first thing people ask if it was brewed with tap.
The simple answer to this is to just brew a batch with all tap water and see what you think.
I'll second this. For an inexpensive, fast turnaround experimental batch you may want to try Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centennial-blonde-simple-4-all-grain-5-10-gall-42841/
There's an extract version near bottom of first page.
Ooops, nevermind - looks like you're going with Cream of 3 Crops - another great choice!
Going to make some calls and try to find out if my area uses chloramine or chlorine. Apparently chloramine can't be boiled off. Baltimore county/city if anyone may know.
I brew only with rainwater; my whole house water system is rainwater, with filters and a UV light. The water is very soft, and I think I can taste that in the beer.
I can probably get a better analysis for Baltimore for you.
Thanks, how?
