@oshucks Putting together my own Velvet Merlin clone and wondering if you could offer any feedback on the last recipe you posted? What adjustments would you make if you were to do this again? Wondering also if you'd post what advice Matt B gave to you with respect to this recipe. Thanks!

Also many others use campden tablets to eliminate chlorine/chloramine. Many posts out there on the topic. FWIW.
