I have been brewing with my softened well water. 6 batches so far.
It has been suggested that it is actually preferred that I use my un-softened well water. I could use water from my Garden Hose, which would be much easier to get into my kettle.
When I have used un-softened water for Coffee or Ice Tea it leaves a "film" on top and also makes cleaning the glass or pot harder. Obviously from the "Hard" water. I had my water tested for hardness it tests at 22 grains hardness.
Would the "Hard" water be best for brewing? Or should I stay with the "Soft" water I have been using?
Any suggestions for a filter system I should be using for my brewing?
Just as an FYI, I do All Grain brewing.
