So I plan to brew a NEIPA tomorrow and I have gone through many threads and I know allot of people brew with a 2:1 Cl / S04, but from a couple of batches I have brewed I have not cared for the "chalky" flavor I pick up on in the beer. Has anyone had good results with brewing with higher sulfate to chloride ratio? was thinking of brewing with the water profile (starting with distilled water) listed below but have been second guessing it over and over. any feedback is appreciated. cheers.
