Water Question

[deafil]

Hello

Yesterday I brewed Midwest's Honey Stem with Arrowhead 100% Mountain Spring Water. I couldn't find reverse osmosis water in the food store. So I went with Arrowhead. I'm wondering which one is better and where can I find RO water?

Thumbs up.

As I understand it RO water is nearly distilled, most all minerals taken out but it is what I use and works. I think there's a pretty good difference in price. 25-30 cents a gallon for RO and $2-3 dollars for 2.5 gallons Arrowhead.


We have a store over here in Hanford thats sells RO water but that really wouln't be worth your drive.

Here's a couple places in Fresno. I don't know if they are RO but would imagine so. You could give them a call.

i would use whatever water is cheaper if you are doing malt extract beer. you only need to worry about water mineral content when you are doing all grain beer.

i would NOT buy "drinking water". it is just tap water in a bottle and it usually has high chlorine levels, which is not good for the beer.
