My Attempt at Sierra Nevada Pale ale clone

[HomeBrewMaster]

Hey guys I was doing a bunch of research to try and come up with something close to the real deal. This is what I came up with what do you guys think?

Also this is my tap water profile I am curious if I should be doing anything to it?

Ca - 27 ppm
Mg - 7
Na - 39.10
SO4 - 59
Cl - 18
HCO3 - 77

Not bad.

I think it is C60, and a pound in 5 gallons. The rest is 2-row.

2 ozs Cascade steep at flame-out, and no dry hops.

What about water profile.

Should I just look at Sierra Nevadas local water report?

I don't have a clue what their water is. You might be able to look it up.

I use this sheet for calculating my water.

I'm not sure what SN uses for a profile

I've made this beer about 10 times and you close, I'd go like 90% 2 row and 10% crystal 40 and maybe some Munich and about 2-4 oz torrified wheat.
I also like mine dry hopped with an 1 oz of cascade for 5-7 days.
I also mash at 152 and use US-05.

Mine is not 100%, maybe 98%.

Really good beer.

Thanks for the responses, I have changed the recipe so I have a 91% 2 row and 9% crystal. It gives me a nice 8 SRM I will have to just try and brew this and see how it goes. I have seen that other people of used crystal 60 but I dunno how that will be, I will try it this way this time and maybe the next time I will try it with the 60.
