Hi chaps. Does anyone use tap water for their wines? I am talking specifically about wine making here, not beer.
Or do you all use spring water?
If you do use tap water what kind do you have (hard/soft) and how does it compare to mineral water?
The reason I ask is that sometimes I feel like knocking up a batch of wine (maybe even a larger batch - 25l) and really don't fancy humping all that water from the supermarket as I don't use a car.
I usually get my water delivered from the supermarket but sometimes the fancy takes me or the opportunity arises to make a batch there and then but I miss it because I don't fancy hiking to the shop and lugging back huge bottles of water.
I'm thinking of making a batch or two of summer punch using tap water just to see how it compares before even attempting it with wine. Anyone see any issues with that?
Let me know your experiences please. :
