Hi all-
I have pretty hard tap water, and I want to know if this will affect what my water/grain ratio should be. I haven't had time to get a full water report, as I just moved into my current town a week ago. Also, I want to brew on Monday, and the next nearest LHBS is about 1.5 hours away, and ordering any 5.2 stabilizer would be pointless as it won't get here in time anyways (never used the stuff and don't necessarily trust it that much as it is). I am making an Irish Dry Stout, and my usual water/grain ratio is 1.5 qt./lb. Thanks!
PS. Sorry if this reads as one giant rant.
