I am brewing Tasty's Janet's Brown this weekend, using 100% distilled water since my town's water report is worthless (need to do a Ward's test!), and will be building up my water to what Tasty's hoppy profile for the beer is, which is:
Ca 110
Mg 18
Na 17
SO4 350
Cl 50
The question is what should I aim for a bicarbonate level, since Tasty did not list his. I was playing with 150 HCO3. Is that too high for a hop forward brown ale?
