Been brewing extract batches with ro water for a couple of years with great results. I brewed my first all grain at my new house using filtered tap water and a campden tab. Hit all my temps and numbers no surpirses. The dry hopped ipa I brewed came out odd. hop flavor was muted and crystal malt flavor was up front. even afrter lots of cold conditioning.
I knew the water wasn't ideal but I wanted to concentrate on my process and give the tap water a shot. Just got my lab report today. What do you guys think? Straight from the tap no filter.
