Do forum members think using distilled water makes a big difference or not?
Reason for asking - I've been brewing with distilled water but the additional cost makes home brew as much as buying beer at Costco.
Cost of making 5 gallons:
Malt Extract kit $35
Gas or shipping $5
Distilled water $7
BTF, caps misc... $1
Result ~50 bottles
Cost per bottle $0.96
Cost at Costco for 24 bottles = $22+tax = $0.99
