So, I intend to start all grain brewing and know water quality can play a part in extraction, flavors, etc. My last few batches I've used half distilled water and half spring water from the store in my steeped grain/extract recipes. Without getting too technical and having anything tested, can I do the same and expect good results moving onto all grain? Do different styles require different water chemistry? Would I do just as well treating my public water with campden tablets? I know there's a lot out there to research and read through, but I'm hoping to brew good beer without going overboard adding minerals, chemicals, etc.
