I've made it about half way through this thread so sorry if it has been answered but does anyone have a good water profile to follow for this beer? I use Bru'n water. Planning on brewing this in the next few days. Also, has anyone had a problem with 60 min boil vs the 90 min boil listed in...
Hello all. After having a lot of water issues I am taking the advice given on here and I am trying Bru'n Water for the first time. I will be brewing a 10 gallon batch Raspberry wheat that I have made several time before. I was hoping for a little feedback before I brew. Mostly concerned with...
10% is what I'm using, 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons of water.

Thanks, I've never seen that thread. Thanks for taking the time to put it together and sharing. Can I ask you why you are recommending only half the baseline amount?
