This Saturday I will attempt my first all grain, I've decided to brew Edworts Haus Pale Ale. I have been reading and reading anything I could find on water chemistry, mash PH, and mashing, but am still a bit foggy on all of it. On top of that, I will be brewing for the first time in the garage (with no running water) on all new electric equipment (cooler mash tun) and fermenting in a new fermentation chamber that I built . Needless to say, seems like there is a lot that can go wrong. I am okay with the beer not turning out so great this time, but want to make sure that it will be a good learning experience that I can build from. I will be using store bought spring or drinking water, since I do not have my carbon filters set up yet. I was thinking that maybe I should just forget about adjusting any of the water (maybe take some PH measurements for fun) and just concentrate on the most basic processes for this first time?
What do you guys think, or do you have any suggestions for me?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
