Hi all,
I have 8 gallons of "Purified water" left over from camping. Unopened, kept out of the sun, but they were kept in a hot tent. The bottles don't explain what "Purified" means.
My instinct would be to just buy new water, but I wanted to check first in case these would actually be ok for brewing.
 
sounds fine to me. it gets boiled during brewing anyway, so I'd say use it, it will be fine.
 
I would taste a sample to be sure it didn't pick up any sort of plastic or other off flavors.
However, I probably wouldn't use it just because it's one more variable you can't control as they didn't tell you what they mean by "purified."
