Hello,
I really like JHB, Citra, Best Friend, Bishops farewell from Oakham Ales. JHB and Best Friend are for me one of the most easy drinkers pale ales/bitters.
I am wondering how do they get that really dry, crisp, minerally finish/mouthfeel in the beer? Has anyone come close to replicating anything similar? There is gypsum in the water, but not only gypsum. I am thinking maybe they have high Cl and Ca in the water, with the sulfate being lower than Cl. It sounds wrong, but I would really like to brew something close to these beers.
Any input from people that have tried the beers and maybe tried to brew similar brews, is welcome.
Thank you.
