If you're not sure your beer's as good as it should be and you're using tap water, try some store-bought. I'm now drinking my first batch using gallon jugs of "spring water" or whatever it was called, and it's really smoother and better than any other beer I've made.
If your beer is great, don't waste the money, but if you wonder, it's worth the $5 to find out.
