Store Bought Water

[Dunkelbrau]

I'm also planning on purchasing one, but not until I get a whole pile of other crap sorted out and can brew a lot better beers than I am, no point complicating it when my water is pretty good when you use the normal filters.. But once we build our house, it's going in the brew cave!

When you build your house, Get the biggest rain water tank you can.




Miss my 70,000 litres of rainwater storage

My comment on 'home brand' water directly relates to 'Home Brand' Spring Water, it is ******* disgusting, I don't know if its the water, the way its treated or just a shitty cheap bottle but when I have tried it, it was almost undrinkable and certainly not a taste I would be volunteraly putting in my beer.
There is another they sell at Woolies, I think its called Mangrove Mountain, could be wrong, its cheap in big 15l bottles IIRC and it also tastes prettty rank.
Hence, my suggestion to sample different brands.

Its pretty interesting, because all of the bottled water brands claim to be pure water.

It was probably bottled in some shitty plastic and left in the sun or something.. i saw some pallets of beer at the local Dans the other day sitting outside in the sun, went for a feed at the pub nearby, a couple of hours later the same pallets were still in the sun.

I remember once when i was in hospital a few years ago, i was given an Aroona (not sure if thats spelled correct or even the right brand) bottle of water, and i couldnt bring myself to drink it. Probably all run out of the same factory.

Could be time to sell my Wookies shares, may be a down turn coming.

Good to see you took the easiest approach to fixing the water problem.
