I have nearly completed by brewery in the 6x9 meter shed I had built and have two nice new water tanks on it, to use fo brewing and chilling (recycle back into the tanks!). Anyway, I was wondering whether anyone else uses rainwater in their mash and whether or not they attempt to adjust the free ion (hardness etc) of the mash water and the sparge water.
Do you treat rainwater as totally ion free in some of the adjustment calculations?
Thanks for any advanced help!

To see the brewery, check the link, I have to get more updated pics this weekend as the RIMS setup has been moved in over the last few days and the beer related "trimings" have started to decorate the walls....http://rims-brewing.tripod.com/rims_brewing_brewery.htm
