Well, just as i was about to give in and start buying RO/DI water from a lfs, i had a thought. All of the articles i've read on lowering the ph of tapwater suggest getting a water purifying unit, or one of those fancy RO units. "Too bad i dont have a fridge with a water thingy.. oh well"
Wait! i forgot i had one of those britta water pitchers. So, just as a little test, i brewed up some britta water, and tested the ph.
Tap: ~7.6
Britta: ~6.2 !!!
Man was i supprised. And this filter had been used a lot, longer than is recommended. Tonight i'm going to pick up a test kit for hardness and such to check those as well. But i sure am pleased. I started filling up 2.5g containers right away.
I'll post the rest of the parameters once i get the test kits.
