re: #22 Killgore Trout

Good tips. The water here in Portland really sucks, Very high PH, high mineral content and tastes like shit. I installed rain barrels on my gutters primarily for my hydroponic plants but I also use rainwater for making tea. I boil it in a french press coffee maker and haven’t encountered any cooties yet.

I don’t even notice, I’m on Mt. Scott just north of Clackamas, I just drink it right out of the faucet, tastes okay to me. But I also don’t cook, so I’m not the best judge. The only tap water I’ve had that actually tasted alarmingly bad to me was Los Angeles. Tasted like drinking swimming pool water.
