Hi, I've been reading thru the direction on my winemaking kit and on
the last page they show a recipie form(i assume to help you keep
track)

on it they list the ingredients and on is water(hard,no clorine) I
knew about the no clorine, but did not know about the hard water. I
have a water softener that i can bypass. can someone explain to me the
why on the hard vs soft?
