The only thing that's mysterious is why people would drink cheap, fizzy beer.

I saw from one of your posts that you live in Arizona and want some advice on water conditioning.
I would start with your local water authority. I have been able to get recent water chemistry reports from my districts supplier. From that information, I have compared my water to other brewing regions.
It turns out that mine is not that different than some famous German regions. (Hmmmm.... Ever wonder why the Mexican breweries have made such amazing lagers?) So, got a 6.5 gallon carboy of R/O water from a local retailer. I used that pretty successfully with a Pilsner recipe I made recently.
On occasion I will buy brewing salts from mail order retailers like Beer Beer & More Beer (www.morebeer.com) It sure seems to effect the flavor a lot.
A suggestion for you. Post this question on the Aleuminati Alechemists group ... some seasoned brewers there who might be able to offer some insight.
Cheers!
