OH!!! And scratch the RO water system idea.
Just got in contact with the City Water Plant Superintendent. He is going to be sending me weekly water reports every Friday! I guess he already has a list of people that he sends this out to every Friday. He sent me an excel file for the weekly tests they have taken for the past 11 years! Pretty sweet! After looking at the excel file and finally learning how to correctly use Bru N Water, I have decided that the city water is just fine to brew with.
Now instead of buying DI water, adding CaCl2, adding epsom salt, adding baking soda, adding acid, etc I can just add a small amount of CaCl2, add a small amount of Acid, and a campden tablet (first and foremost) to get rid of the chloramines, and I should be good!
Its obviously a little more technical than that, but just relaying that I can use less additions and less of each addition. And not have to buy 10 gallons of DI water. So pumped!
I am going to brew an APA on Sunday to highlight Belma hops, and will be using City Water again! All in my new keggle!! Going to be an exciting brew day
