I have my beer share kit ordered and reading and viewing anything I can in preparations for my first brew. My dilemma is what water to use, let me explain...
I live in SW Florida and have a shallow well for my home water, Now I grew up on this water and like drinking literately from the well tap, even though I have a water conditioner that supplies my home faucets. In some cases here in Florida there are areas that have a high sulfur content when it comes out of ground (Natural Aquifer) but mine fortunately does not. My conditioned water (inside house) is drinkable but don't really use it for drinking. The reason for this is that we just recently moved and now have the well, and where we were, I had municipal water that was crappy and had always had a 5 gal bottled water delivery service and we just kept it at new place because we were so used to it.
(Sorry this is getting long) Anyway..... for my 1st batch should I just use the bottled water for less hassle, or should I use the water directly from the well, Or... from the tap?? I'm not sure how to test my water since it doesn't come from a Municipality?
Thanks in advance for the help and advice, looking forward to learning a lot here!!
