HI Guys,
Im going to give a Pilsner a go for my next batch! (INSERT SH!T SCARED SMILEY HERE)
After reading some of 'Palmers how to brew' i need to start with very soft water
Ive never done water additions before and i have no idea if my water is hard or soft, but knowing my luck it will be extremely hard and ill have to change its profile completely!
