In the format SO4-S, the result is multiplied by 3 to get the relevant sulfate content. In this case, 468 ppm. The magnesium seems elevated but I'm much more thrown by the Cl numbers. We need some expert opinions here.

Posted the results here... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/heady-topper-results-ward-labs-481031/ Still not quite sure what to make of them.

I'm not sure if anyone has sent one off to Ward and/or posted the results but I promised to do so myself and the numbers are in. Quite frankly, my water knowledge is fairly limited but these numbers seem to be off the charts in several respects. Hopefully our resident water experts will have a...

Planning on shipping a sample of HT over to Ward Labs tomorrow. What have we determined about extrapolating the liquor quality (pre-mash, pre-boil) from the finished product's numbers? From what I understand, at a very minimum the calcium and magnesium numbers will certainly change as the...

So how did this work out at 2.8 Vols? I just bottled Saturday to 2.6 Vol (135 g of corn sugar for 5G).

Bottling this today. Hit all the numbers and fermented for 14 days at 68F. Hydrometer sample is spot on and delicious. Simple recipe that produces a very authentic Bavarian Hefe. Thanks, EdWort!

I've had the same thing happen a week after brewing IPAs with Safale US-05. FWIW, my procedure is as follows: 1) Wait a few more days to allow the krausen and beer to clear naturally. 2) Cold crash for 24 hrs to help drop any yeast that remain in suspension. 3) Bring back up to temp and dry...

Thanks, singybrue! Ah, the elusive Heady Topper... it's even fairly difficult to get up here. I have to leave work on Tuesday afternoon to snatch a few from the local market before it sells out that evening!

Hey all! Fairly new to VT (1 yr) and homebrewing (5 mos). I was into craft beer before moving up here from PA but now I'm completely addicted. I've brewed 7 extract batches so far and plan on doing my first all-grain this weekend. Loving the hobby and loving the sharing of information and...

Thanks for your (you and reddskinnfan) work on this one. I'm going to be brewing up a 3 gal batch this weekend using a recipe that borrows from a few of the iterations mentioned. Will post recipe later for those that may be interested. Even though we have many fantastic beers available in VT...

So in looking at several of the threads regarding this clone, we have Natron008 telling us that his friend who works at the brewery recommends 2/3 pilsner while we have the Trogner bros on record as saying its 80% Vienna. Some kind of smoke screen here? For those that have tried several...
