So last night my buddy and I brewed our first All-Grain recipe. A nice Irish Stout thats looking at about 4% or so. Everything went great! Here is the issue that we may have or may not have...I would like to get your thoughts.
So when I went to the store I accidently picked up the wrong water...I got distilled water...we used it anyways but thought to add about 1/2tsp of gypsum into our water that we used in our mash process. Color was great, things checked out fine testing with iodine. From there once we started boiling we added another 1/2tsp. of gypsum hoping this would help since we used distilled. Once the boil was done and after using our wort chiller we put into the primary we added cold filtered tap water thinking this may help as well which brought us up to 5gall. Got to our temp. pitched our yeast and hoped for the best. What do you guys think? Will it turn out okay or were we doomed from the start. Thanks guys, appreciate it.
