So, i've done my first few batches with Reverse Osmosis water, with 0tds on my meter; i'm completely unsatisfied with the hop bittering levels.
Am I on the right path, assuming that I need to use water that has some hardness to it to achieve better bittering?
I wouldn't bother using RO, other than the fact I have my own system and i use RO/DI (different outlet) for my reef aquarium.
My local tapwater is only about 120ppm on the TDS meter, and it's mostly carbonate hardness.. should I consider adding more calcium chloride?
