Basically what I'm saying is from what I've seen the best most obvious changes in beer making are accomplished by changing water chemistry and temperature control during fermentation.
this is my towns water report from 2012. I don't have a clue what any of it means. Is it suitable/should i do anything to it: http://www.montclairnjusa.org/dmdocuments/water-quality-2012.pdf
I got the 15 gallon mega pot with thermo and ball valve and the blichmann burner with leg extensions! Should be here soon and I'll brew up a nice pale ale
Should/can I get a screen filter for the mega pot? Any links to a good one?

I also agree about using buckets instead of carboys for primary. I thought I was cool and started with 3 carboys but I bought a bucket for one of my IPAs and now ferment everything in buckets. I'll save the carboys for my future winemaking hobby.
