Actually, doing your bittering as a FWH Addition will leave a noticable aroma. Something about steeping in Mash temp wort makes the oils less volatile, and changes the bittering from a sharp to a more rounded bitter, and leaves aroma somewhat intact. In my admittedly small experience at least.
Portland's Water profile is roughly as follows.
Bull Run Watershed
Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 Alkalinity pH
2 1 2 10 1 9 (HCO3) 8
City of Portland Water Department
And good point on the Mash Temp, I've been pretty consistent in 152 - 154 in my recent brews.
Going to be brewing the following later this week. Any feedback on the Hop Schedule in particular?
