I have heard from several sources that the Chlorine in drinking water might have an adverse effect on yeast-bread making,since Cl does a nice job of getting rid of the nasties.
I determined that some serious research was called for,so accordingly I collected some rainwater (straight from the sky,not via our water tank)and set to.
I can report that the resulting bread was of the highest standard..that is to say up to my usual. The next step is to make a batch using un-molested tap water.(I always use water that has been previously boiled to make tea/coffee..this is specifically to eliminate the Chlorine,but the Fluoride of course remains.I do not regard the Fl as a reagent in any way).
Updates as they come to hand.
Any thoughts or observations from other bread making people would be welcomed.
Nobody from my city (Sydney) is permitted to enter Queensland...huge covid spread in Victoria following a serious breach of quarantine regulations..don't get complacent,folks..wearing a mask is getting more Kool by the minute.

Shades of that great movie "On The Beach."
Yesterday the NBN was cyber-attacked...today it works better than it ever did.
@ morphyms1817 this and inane thread still delaying to bump.
@obladie
It would seem to require more resources to insert a delay than not to. I'm not technological, but its my guess. I would assume all functions would process in order of occurrence (user actions, like posts). This is kind of odd, actually, It makes me think of the delay of communication that occurs between Earth and Mars with the satellites at Mars. Depending on the positions of the orbits, I think round time communications with Mars can be 30 minutes at time. Hey!!! I've just backed into post subject for the inane thread.
