Planning to brew a milkshake IPA 'base' this weekend. I've seen water profiles all over the place for this style. No fruit, no vanilla.
General guidance seems to indicate 2:1 Chloride to Sulfate ratio? Have also seen folks reverse this or go with a 1:1 similar to NEIPA.
Grain Bill:
10 lb Pilsner
2 lbs flaked oats
1 lb Honey Malt
1 lb White wheat
1.25 lbs lactose
Target Profile:
Ca: 20
Mg: 20
NA: 16
Cl: 200
SO4: 100
Brewfather struggled to 'auto' calculate the addiitons against the target profile so I manually tweaked things and came up with the following:
Using RO water
Salt additions:
Gypsum: 2.8 g
Calc Chlo: 4.2 g
Epsom: 6.8 g
Mash profile:
Ca: 98
Mg: 30
Na: 6
Cl: 100
SO4: 195
Any additional input here before I brew tomorrow?
Cheers,
Brian
