Rain Water in brewing

i live in NSW Australia, I remember one of the finest tap beers I ever had came from Bulahdelah bowling club.



The reason, Hunter brewery uses rainwater I am told. Sydney's Carlton Unted brewery uses pure old Sydney tap water.



Good enough for the experts good enough for me.



What I don't like about the expert's brew is the arsenic used to kill off bacteria and give me a headache.



They say distilled rain water is even better for brewing but I can think of a 1001 better uses for a still come about Autumn . I reckon just boling rain water is good enough for this piss head.

I thought about this too. I get filtered water from my home brew shop which is a bit of a pain in the arse carting 60 litres to the car when I do a brew. Problem is, it doesn't rain much in Townsville!
