Star San and Hard Water

[Wezzel]

I used Star San for the first time at the weekend before reading that it shouldn't be used with hard water

I just hope my London Pride clone is not infected.

Instead of buying bottled water could I just treat my tap water with CRS and then add the Star San?

I'm not sure if treating your water with CRS would work, it might.

I just buy the 5 litre bottles of Tesco Ashbeck water, which only cost £1.00. Remember once mixed up you can reuse it so it lasts for ages. The empty bottles make handy fermenters for wine as well.

Thanks chaps.

I may as well go down the bottled water route as it is so cheap
