High all.....when diluting your spirits to say 40%, what type of water does everyone use e.g. distilled water, tank water or just plain old tap water?

Rain water

Along with all the other goodies in my gutters... :laughing-rolling:

Only use water that tastes good to you :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I have one of those under sink filter systems that supposedly remove everything.
Cheapish and the water tastes a hell of a lot better.
Replace the filter once a year and it’s all good

I had one of those in my last place. We moved a few months ago abd don't have one anymore. The water here in Brissie is pretty good so far I haven't noticed any problem with just straight tap water. Probably will install one of those filters though. No harm in improving your product :handgestures-thumbupleft:

:text-+1: On filtered water, I have a fancy fridge that filters water. A cheaper option could be a Brita water filter jug, will do a similar job and at a fraction of the price.

Aussie water coolers. Been using it for years

Bottled water

I used to use the 10ltr goon bag water. Get on special for $5 most of the time, you city folk could probably get it cheaper :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I buy the coles brand 600ml bottles 24 pack $7 it's pretty neutral water..

I use Coles bottled water too bluc. I buy the 1.5 litre bottle 8 packs though.

Why don’t you guys buy a $75 under sink filter ?
I don’t get this buying water stuff, and on top you’ve got a bunch of plastic bottles to get ridd of

Hope you guys are recycling

I'm in SA so we get 10cents a pop here. Pretty much making money :laughing-rolling: 8-} :laughing-rolling:

I now use my RO water :happy-partydance: :dance:

10c a pop is starting here in qld too and Yes I will be making use of it :D currently they go in my recycle bin ..

top up with my Puratap filtered water. Wouldn't use just tap water.

I do use one of those inline caravan filters for use with my washes but haven't really considered using it for spirit dilution. I might give it a go next time.

I have an ro "drinking water" setup. But read its not good to acidic. Maybe I should just read the internet less...

I was wondering the same thing. I'm looking to purchase the coles 10litre caddies, they should be good.
