I know not to use distilled water and I have been using spring water from the grocery store. I've been staying away from my tap water (Austin Texas) just because. I'm trying to learn the whole process and want it to come out decent, should I continue with the spring water or just go to tap?
I have a kit from Austin Home Brew and on the instructions it said to ferment in the primary for 5 to 7 days then switch to the secondary after that. My question is should follow the instructions or use a hydrometer to test? I was reading other threads and a little unsure. Thanks!
