Is there a difference in recipes for the powder verses ready to drink?

I feel the pre made bottles are much more palatable. I have tried various huel powder bags and all seem to have a sour taste? I’m not finding that in the pre made bottles

Do you normally drink the water that you’re using to make the Huel powder? I wonder how much variation in regional tap water affects people’s experience.
