I'm in Suffolk county. The link the other poster put up is your best way to best to find out what's in your water. Most Long Island water is from the aquifer and is usually pretty good for brewing.

I recently had a beer in Scotland that used Heather flowers instead of hops in the brew. Very interesting. Worth giving its try at. Might be a viable alternative.

I have to admit I have thought about opening a brewery. I have to admit I have not been brewing long enough to actually do it yet but it's kinda a dream. Would a hundred gallons at a time enough?

14 batches in 6 months is pretty impressive. Adding actual nuts to the brew would be a good idea but better to add them into the secondary rather than primary fermenter. Adding them before pitching...

Forgot to mention. Planning on using 1/2 ounce dried blood orange, 1/2 ounce coriander, and 1/4 ounce ginger. Does this sound like appropriate amounts for a standard 5 gallon batch?
