Thanks to Santa Claus, I will be brewing my first all-grain batch on Friday. I wasn't planning on dealing with the chemistry of my water at all because I don't understand it much and there will be enough new stuff going on as is. However, I live in Seattle, and from what I've gathered, we have very clean and very soft water... not so ideal for brewing. So is it worth it for me to try and get it at least a little figured out before Friday? Or should I just go with my tap water as is and see how it goes?
I have done three extract brews so far and have liked them all so far but I want to love this next one.
