Water
I have Houston water so I had to dilute with RO due to lots of iron in my city water. I ended up using 75% RO 25% filtered city water (filtered through fridge). Whatever your normal pale water is should be fine, I just adjusted with some gypsum in my water to bring out my hop flavor and bitterness.
Other notes
I ended up with ~6-6.5 gallons pre boil and had 5 gallons in the fermenter after cooling. Adjust for your system and boil off rate. Also I just pitched the wyeast packet. Fermented at 70 in a swamp cooler...hey it's Houston summers...all in all fermented out clean in 4-5 days
Second round in the Dixie cup in Houston and scored a 32. I missed my mash temp while brewing, 151 instead of 154. Enjoy.
