Showerthought: My sourdough starter was a total flop until I switched to bottled water
The tap water in my town is so hard, it killed three batches before I tried using a $1 gallon of spring water from the store. Has anyone else had starter issues that just came down to the water?

Wait, is bottled water really that big a difference?

That makes sense, chlorine is a real killer for yeast too.

Yeah, learned that the hard way trying to make bread with tap water once. Ended up with a sad, dense brick that could have doubled as a doorstop. Now I just use the cheap bottled stuff for baking.
