I am wanting to try mt first all grain boil and the pH and mineral content is making my head spin! I usually always buy spring filtered water from Kroger which should hopefully not be super hard. I was looking into dropping money on the pH 5.2 stabilizer but is this over kill? Should i just buy some gypsum and calcium carb. and just added that to get the pH in my range? what is the easiest and cheapest way to control pH for someone who is justing getting into it?
