For those of you making what seems to be coined 'rpavlis water', how are you making it? I've seen it mentioned many times and I've seen some posts where people provide different measurements for it, but it wasn't until today that I looked for rpavlis' actual post that spells it...

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...
