That is excellent brewing water that can be adjusted for most styles of beer. Read through and apply the Primer (sticky) for a few brew days and see how it impacts your beers.

Either filter your water through active charcoal and/or use a 1/4 Campden tablet crushed into 5 gallons of water before brewing to remove chlorine or chloramine. Alternatively, you can also prepare your water the day before, stir vigorously, to gas off the chlorine as it sits.
