My Doppleback is hurting me

Beautiful day in south Texas to make beer. Too bad it didn't come out right.

Today was the first time I tried to figure out the water profile for me beer. I delicately measured every single water additive down to the gram to try and get a match for the water in the region of the would I was trying to make the beer.

Always check the legs on your collapsible table. Always.

The cooler I was using to store all of that lovely water caused the table to collapse on one side. All the time prep to make the water went to naught and I left having to partially use my local area water.

I even missed the OG for the beer. Ouch! That hurts.
