I have read John Palmers books and have just finished watching a great video c/o northern brewer on you tube...

I have some questions that hopefully some fellow brewers can answer....
I currently use TH 's wonderful 3.o spreadsheet on water calculations and have been sticking to it like the bible.... always trying to balance the Chloride / Sulfate ratios between .77 and 1.3...
Then I watched John's above video and he "seems to imply" that for hoppier beers to go below .77 and for maltier beers to go above 1.3 Has anyone watched this and gotten the same thing from his talk?
I have always shot for a balance...
Should I follow that old method or start changing the ratios above and below the suggested balance??
Help!
