Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I just want to share an experience. I've been brewing Kombucha successfully for about a year and a half. During this time I have used great natural spring water, filtered by mother Earth and delivered to my door via 5 gallon water bottles. A couple weeks ago I ran out of the water early and went to Whole Foods to buy some filtered Minneapolis city water. I noticed a slight difference in taste but it was okay. This month we ran out of water again and I decided to experiment using our tap water, which isn't too bad but it does have the typical chlorine/fluoride etc. The Kombucha tasted AWFUL! It's like all the bad taste was maginfied ten-fold making the brew undrinkable. Needless to say today I scrapped all my Kombucha brews and need to start over. I have read the importance of using filtered water (along with organic ingredients) but was a little arrogant. I just want to share this for anyone tempted to make my mistake. I'm also curious to know any others experience in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
