I'm slowly making preparations for my first brew, I haven't bought much stuff yet but i am looking to keep things simple this time round.
So instead of messing around with water I think I'll just go into my local Tesco and buy some bottled water.
Is there much difference between brands? What about Tesco Value water, is it pee pee?
 
You need bottled water with a low Carbonate level.
Some are good and some are absolutley terrible.
Te$co does Ashbeck water which is very low in carbonate - less than £1 for 5 litres IIRC.
 
Are you planning on doing a kit?

If so, don't mess around with buying water, just use tap water treated with half a camden tablet.

And by treat, I mean crumble it up and stir. Easy as pie.
