Great, thanks Eric. I'm Penshaw and have been using bottled water so far, yeah.

I'm planning a mead on tap water just to see what it's like, although plan to get a water test done sometime, though.
Do you have a furry kettle?
There is a bit of lime scale in there, yeah.

You can top up the fermenter.
Can you?? Does this not mess with the OG? I've been quite a bit under with my volumes, tbh.

Sparge volumes for 1 Gallon batch.
