(Note: this isn't technically a brew day, but it will be this weekend :P )
They've finally come! I've been waiting for weeks for Mosaic Hops to be in the country and now I have some :-)
There's no room in the house, but I've convinced my dad I can brew by way of clarity firm (he's coeliac, so his ear pricked up and I managed to twist his arm)
I've recently done a Coopers Mexican Cerveza, and I used bottled water because my area (Doncaster) is hard water. With that being said, I plan to use tap water because it's a darker ale.
Should I add a campden tablet overnight before brewing, or should I be ok with tap water? -i've never done that before (and usually use tap water) but I'm wanting to step up my brewing.
The only issue I can see is that I wont be able to get the temperature down enough, but I can leave overnight in the garage and add less hot water?
I'll keep this updated thread when I brew
Many thanks,
Callum
