Hey Y'all,
I would like to organize a set of tried and true water profiles for classic styles. I am a total water chem newbie, but I'm in it for the long haul. I don't have any first hand experience with which profiles work very well with which styles, so I am relying on 2nd/3rd hand information.
Perhaps we can start to organize a water profile set and we can have people comment on what has worked well for them (actually tried it), and what hasn't.
For source material, I so far can only really find the "city" water profiles in Beersmith and the few profiles in BreWater 3.0. There has to be some more definitive information out there. Let's organize it a bit and share our experiences?
Right now, I am fermenting a Robust Porter w/ water adjustments and a Scottish 70/ with adjustments. I have a control beer for the porter, but not for the scottish.
I don't want this to turn into a "you don't need water chem" thread or a thread debating the merits of this process, but rather a place to share successes and lessons learned.
