@NathPowe, great efforts! You said the mouthfeel of your clone was spot on, can you share what your water profile is like? And if you made any additions or adjustments of any kind? For me, the mouthfeel of a beer is more than half the enjoyment as it slips down...

Agreed, anyone taken pH readings on any of HF's hoppy creations?

@mosaicbrewer I meant the pH of Edward, not Heady Topper... Have you measured it for Edward? I agree, the water profile for Heady Topper is interesting but acidification is also a key element. Edit: Or am I reading this as you have had Edward analysed and it came out to pH 4.4? And that you...

Hey mbushnel, I think I saw that same talk by Kimmick, lots of good stuff there. But I was referring to the final pH, not the mash pH. Obviously the end product is in the low 4's but pinpointing through taste is impossibe. And yes, I have read elsewhere he is pretty strict on pH, hence why I am...

main missing piece was quite simple for Heady Topper, this guy sent it off for sampling! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/heady-topper-results-ward-labs-481031/ it costs about $40, but tells you all you need to know! anyone want to jump in on that? I am nowhere near VT for a long time :-(...

Does anyone know the final pH on Edward? The calculated final gravity is between 1.015-1.016, seems really high but it isn't that sweet!

have read elsewhere that Shaun is strict about pH, has anyone taken a final reading on Edward?? I think this, plus sulfate and chloride levels, could be key to cramming 85IBU's into a 5.2% pale ale, assuming he uses Tinseth. The residual sugars also contributing a lot to mouthfeel, but with...
