Much better with tap (or mineral water), as the yeast benefits from the minerals present.

Definitely. The reason why Burton on Trent became such a big centre for brewing is because of the high gyspum content in the water - gives the beer more flavour.

English water is hard therefor good for ale , soft water good for whisky which is why Scots and Irish make good whisky but English cant.

RO water makes for a real decent cup of tea.

Over time, all the scale in the kettle vannishes aswell.
