BDawg,
Thanks for the Welcome! I used filtered water for the first batch, but I think Korea is using ozone not chlorine for their anti-bacteria additive so hopefully that will work out. Based upon stuff I'd read while lurking on the BN forums, my seecond and future batches will be done with distilled until I move to mini-mash or BIAB, at which point I think I'll either RO+minerals or try to balance a local bottled water supplier
.
I've read so much useful information on these forums that I started a word document with posts to keep track of the info. You guys are real experts and I registered just to say "thanks"!
I've already decided I hate the TrueBrew kits, but sadly bought 30 gallons worth of them. I ordered a total of 45 gallons worth of extract kits with my equipment because I'm closing in on the time if year where mail is really unreliable over here (holidays). Once those are gone, I'll be doing more with kits like the ones from MoreBeer and NYBrewSupply - just feel better put together and higher quality.
I've considered picking up Jamil's book and trying to assemble some extract recipes based upon what I read there, after I burn through the current stock.
Hopefully, I'll be able to contribute something useful eventually
