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.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.
