Question for you guys:
I live in Los Angeles and we actually have pretty decent water for brewing. About half if not more of my water is made up from water from the tap. I dilute it with cold spring water to bring the temperature down quicker after the boil.
My question: if I used chilled tap water instead, would this help the body and/or profile of my beer at all? Does tap water "thin" out my beer? I've heard better beer is made with full boils vs. partial boils so I'm wondering if this might help.
Thanks!
