Just curious if anyone from Baltimore is using city tap water for brewing -- how does the water affect on the quality/taste of the beer?
I usually just buy several 1-gallon jugs of water from the supermarket but this adds to my costs and can be a pain in the butt to transport. I have a faucet-mounted PUR filter and a filtered water line in my refrigerator, but both are painfully slow and waiting for 5-6 gallons would be torturous.
Tap water would be excellent but I only brew a few times per year and I don't want to risk an entire batch experimenting with it.
Anybody tried using the water here? Yay or nay?
Thanks,
chris.
P.S. Has anyone ever tried hooking up some tubing to a refrigerator door water dispenser and using this as the primary water source in brewing?
