Dunzo! Thanks!

Any water chem. gurus out there that can look at this water profile for a neipa?

Heres the recipe

Fair enough.

Over the summer me and a buddy brewed this big ol RIS. Everything was going great until my dude broke out his "brewing beers" I don't remember what he brought, but they were boozy. VERY BOOZY. long story short... we forgot to add the hops. I realized while cooling the beer, and thought "screw...

Great post. Ive been working on water additions, so coming across this now is great timing! I usually treat my mash very similarly, but I haven't treated my sparge water. What benefits do you find from adding minerals to the sparge? Im also interested in your getting progress. I just had a...
