Home brewed beer - hard or softened water?
I'm about to try brewing beer from a kit. Our tapwater is fairly hard, but
the house has a water softener (*) for one of the kitchen taps.
Is it better to use hard water, as it is supplied, or to use water from the
softener? I can't detect any difference in taste of water from the normal or
softened tap.
(*) One of those inline cylindrical ones that is fitted with compression
fittings into a branch of copper piping off the rising main.
