I am very "green" to home brewing. In fact, I obtained the interest from a former co-worker who brewed quite regularly, but I never pursued any further - until now. I have just purchased a basic set-up, and am curious about using our well water or buying bottled.
Our well water, has a good flavor and smell to it. However, the water is very hard. It leaves a calcium build-up (I'm assuming calcium) on the inside of the pipes, and (unless cleaned regularly) also in our sinks, tubs, and stools. Will this effect the batch, or is there no real concern since it tastes fine?
I appreciate any help that you give.
