Good afternoon guys.
First of all, as someone who is new to home brewing I'd like to thank everyone who takes the time and effort to participate in this forum. Your insight and information has really helped me as I toe in to home brewing. Danke and Slainte!
Now my question: Is there any reason that I should not use lake water (taken directly from the lake) to brew? For kicks, I'd like to source some water from my favorite Adirondack lake and use it in a batch.
I intend to charcoal filter and boil it before use. Any other prohibitions or suggestions?
