Martin, the bobsbrew recipe is a clone of Heady Topper, is it an IPA or NEIPA? I can't answer that as I've never tried it. As I said I'm still learning about water treatment from using your amazing piece of work which I why I looked for advice here. As it's such an expensive beer to brew I'm not confident enough to go with one water profile over another so looking for so help here.
Sorry about listing bicarbonate. It's just one of the categories. I don't pay attention to it and definitely don't add chalk.
From what I've researched the 750ppm of hardness is the finished beer. If I shoot for the 750ppm in the mash and sparge water is seems like a lot of gypsum so want to double check before I brew a chalky, undrinkable beer. It that's what is required so be it. The pale ale profile seems safer, will it be Heady topper? Probably not.
