    San Francisco tap water for brewing

    I've brewed with Oakland tap water. As you may know, the Bay Area has spectacular tasting water from the Sierras. No problems here.

    Add water during primary fermentation?

    Add water during primary fermentation?

    original gravity reading of wort was 1032 @ 77 degrees f before pitching yeast. Is that pretty far off of where it should have been?
