Hi all,
        That's a bone I've been gnawing at for a while without any joy,
thank you Brooks.
Is it generally recommended to use distilled water in order to avoid
unwanted chemicals and have a known quality starting point from which start
CS production.
If this is the case then would it be more sensible to use well water that
would contain some minerals that are of value to us.

Leo.
