Just curious. Did you taste a difference? Woth trying?
I do. It's definitely worth filtering my water. If I don't, it tastes bad and has a light orange or red tint to it. In some places where I've turned on a water fountain (that didn't have an attached filter) I've actually seen sediment collect in the basin near the drain.
I think this is an extreme case....for must of us on city tap water, you might benefit from filtering out some/most of the chlorine. But for well water, you might want to look into something a little bit better than your typical brita filter.
It is city water
Are you the OP? No? Oh...I didn't think so. Thanks for playing.
I do it. My water isn't terrible out of the tap, but it just tastes better when I run it through the filter. My thinking is that if the water tastes better, the beer will taste better, too.
I'm not certain whether it removes the chloramine, but I do taste less of the chlorine flavor when I drink it. Having said that, I also use a campden tab when I brew with it, just to be sure.
