1) Does RO stand for "Regular Old"?
2) And it seems every recommends against using RO and Distilled water for mashing. Does that mean I should use Spring Water?
3) Sorry for opening Pandora's Box with this one - How do I know that the Spring Water is of a better quality than my tap water
Yes, just steeping. Thanks!M@ you are fine. you are just steeping the grain, right?
I grew up on well water, so I'm extremely sensitive (taste and smell) to the chlorine in tap water. So I get cheap bottled water at the grocery store for my brews. The boiling would probably remove the chlorine, but I figure the bottled stuff is pretty cheap anyway plus I don't have to wait for the faucet to fill up the container. In the end, it's not that big a deal to me either way.

My Water has chlorine and chloramine and smells like a bucket of bleach. I was going to use cheep RO water but I guess I'll have to pay double for spring water. Unless I can sucker my father in law in to driving some of his well water down. Thanks for the heads up on the RO water
