Question for the more experienced brewers here.
How much difference does using bottled water make vs using tap?
My main objection to using bottled is that I'm looking at doing an extract kit next which will be around £25, and to get the 20+ litres bottled needed the overall price of the brew will be pushing £30 or more. You can get decent commercial brews for £1.25 per 500ml in tesco, so I start to question the value of brewing my own at that cost (though of course it's not really about saving money).
What do people reckon?
