I'll be housesitting for a few months shortly and might do some brewing there. The house collects rain water from the roof and stores it in a big concrete tank.
Given that we don't have a ward labs or similar in my country and getting a proper report is going to be too expensive to justify for a couple of brews - is there some baseline assumptions that can be made about rain water?
Similar to RO water or does it pick up different minerals depending which part of the sky it falls from? The water tastes excellent and seems soft, ie no calcium deposits on the shower etc.
Thanks in advance
(Also RO water isn't available either so that option is out).
