I've been told it is a mix of Mississippi River water (soft like
Mpls) and well water (hard) and it varies. You never know what
you're getting. Treatment for all grain brewing is the same: boil
and aerate for 15 min., cool, and decant off the sediment (chaulk),
add back calcium as needed (gypsum or calcium chloride). For extract
brewing, either follow the steps above (recommended) or just get the
chlorine out before brewing.
