Distilled Water
Hi All
With my Airstill I would double distil and water down the product with distilled water to 40 abv, I now have a T500 is it better to use distilled water to reduce to 40abv or just use tap water and then use a essencia filter, or just use tap water and don't filter
What do most of you do?

Re: Distilled Water
I use tap water to dilute my Low Wines and carbon filtered water to dilute my spirits

Re: Distilled Water
My tap water is almost pH neutral, moderately soft (no limescale) and rarely treated. It may not be a highland spring, but I don't have the need to use anything else.
If my water wasn't so good, I'd just use cheapo water from the supermarket.

Re: Distilled Water
Yes,it's down to the quality of your tap water.
My tap supply is becoming more and more treated,used to be a lovely peated colour,and so soft.Now the chlorine shouts at you.
If I can't access clean rainwater,it's cheap supermarket bottled for me.
