Ok, I have well water going thru a water softener, so my brews seem to always be lacking that something.
I listened to Basic Brewing Radio podcast on water chemistry and thought I should maybe start playing with my brewing salts but then I heard about the 5.2 ph stabilizer and thought I should use that, but now I am confused.
What are the pros of using the stabilizer vs adding salts, taking in to account the I have no idea what my water chemistry is, so about all I can put in is results from pool test strips that I have. Gives me ph and a few other things on the strip.
