Hard to explain but I filled up my tub for a bath last night and noticed a blue tint to the water. Initially I thought it might be lighting or reflection from some of the blue in the bathroom so I took an empty 5 Gal bucket and filled that up to and took it to a different room. The blue was even more noticeable.
After googling around it looks like it might be high levels of copper in the water, which makes sense given we have copper pipes. We've been in the house since May so I don't think this problem will go away with time. I don't notice any difference in the taste of the tap water but did buy a small Brita filter this morning as a precaution.
I didn't take a picture exactly but I found the one below on Google thats pretty close to what I'm seeing.
Will high levels of copper effect my beer?
