Tasty mentioned adding gypsum, but did not specifiy further. Nathan recommended finding the water report for Santa Cruz, CA. He then said that water additions probably don't play a huge role in this particular beer.

Tasty and Nathan recommending either adding 0.5oz columbus @90m or increasing the simcoe to 1oz @90m.

Green Flash is in Vista,Ca. Not sure why they would want the water report for Santa Cruz, unless of course they have another brewery there that I don't know about.

I could have mistyped it. Is there a Santa Cruz County?

lets not forget to add Jamil's logic behind the 6 gallon post boil volume since it confuses some:

6 gallons post boil > 5.5 gallons in the fermenter > 5 gallons in bottling bucket/keg

I will include that in the intro for all future recipes. I will post some more tomorrow, unless I am busy at work

Not sure to be honest, but it's NorCal Vs SoCal, so obviously it would be completely different water profiles. I don't want to detract from the thread, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

I found Vista's water profile online and have the numbers on another computer if anyone wants them. Not surprisingly, it is fantastic water for IPAs right from the tap. I use the water profile for many of my IPAs now and it is very nice.

I hope he doesn't mean the Santa Cruz in northern CA, because our water is terrible. I would brew with straight SC water if someone paid me to. Well, I would, but remove any possibility it could be traced back to me.

Greenflash runs their water through an activated carbon filter and then adds gypsum.

When brewing IPA's or pale ales, I will add 6-8 grams of gypsum for a six gallon batch. When I do not add the gypsum the resulting bitterness is a little soft or round, for lack of a better terms.

Haven't sent my filtered water out for testing but when I do, will post results.

**EDIT**
I live in Vista and also use an activated carbon filter. It's not the same filter as Greenflash but I would have to assume the result is fairly similar considering our water comes from the same place.
