Hi all. I am fairly new to homebrew and I stumbled on this site. You can see my intro on the intro section (graduated from Mr. beer). I am on my third batch of beer since getting my kits and had a question of water. I live in souther California and our water has lots of chemicals in it. Most people dont drink it. I have heard that it is better to use tap water over bottled as the yeast thrives on the additives of the municipal water and bottled water may even delay fermentation. Is this true or would it taste better to use bottled or a water filter when making wort/ filling fermentr. Also, what about those aquvend machines. I can get five gallons of water that has been filtered, and pass through uv rays for about 75cents. Any input would be great. Thanks ahead of time.
