just wondered has anyone collected rain water of a green house in a storm and done a brew??? :wha:

Our greenhouse is covered with dust, a bit of algae and several varieties of bird ****.

The gutterings have never been cleaned since the day it was erected, several years ago.

So it's a ânoâ from me :sick:

I think the experts will say that it'll be polluted...what with all the sh*t that gets pumped into the atmosphere... :sick:
I'd use what comes out the tap...thank you... :drink:

so none of that sh*t drops in the reservoirs that we drink from, or spring water full of dead vermin :?:

ok i will stick to tap water : cheers:

Quite a lot happens to it between the reservoir and your tap.

I know just seems a shame!!! when we were kids we used to drink stream water up in the mountains, nothing happened to us, apart from my mate has 3 nipples :rofl:

Ditto...when we were kids we did the same...but a lot of spring water is filtered naturally through the earth..& as for the water that's from the taps..I've worked with some of the waterboards and seen what they do to H2o...I'll stick with what I know.. :thumb:

You can set up a filter type system from it, have a drain pipe going into barrel 1, then have an overflow pipe 3/4 way up it into barrel 2,then same again into barrel 3, and barrel 4 should be 0ppm or there abouts :)
