Hey Guys,
I'm from Sydney Australia and we have soft water. Problem is I like West Coast style IPA's etc.
I've started mucking around with water additions to help out with improved bitterness and hop crispness.
Without opening another massive water debate, I am just after a good water profile that I can adjust Sydney water too. I want the bitterness & hops to shine.
For the record, my water breakdown is
Calcium = 13.65
Magnesium = 5.38
Sodium = 15.05
Sulfate = 9.5
Chloride = 29.75
Bicarbonate = 39.4
I found the Cal Water report for Chico, CA (AKA SN) and I was just going to use that. However I am unsure is SN treat their water.
So in summary I am after a good water breakdown for American style hoppy beers.
Cheers & thanks
Dave
