Honestly, after reviewing most of this thread (so far) and following it down the rabbit hole, my head is ready to explode regarding what to do about water. I live in the Bay Area and we have always had great tasting water here in San Francisco (Hetch Hetchy source), until they...

Hello everybody,

In order to improve my brew (i'm currently using aeropress) I decided to start from the water since it was cheap and it could eventually be carried on to other brew styles and beverage.

I thought about going with rpavlis water, but I just can't see myself lugging gallons of distilled water and mixing with...
