Question on S and Cl additions for NEIPAs.

[Turfgrass]

I like the hop forward taste and aromas of IPAs, however, the bitter or more malt taste with salt additions has me confused. Prob not an easy answer, but why does higher S contribute to more hoppy beers and higher on the Cl mean more malty? It is suggested the Cl be higher in the hop forward styles of NEIPA and not Sulfur. Please help me understand. Thx.

Try a sulfate:chloride ratio of 110:210 and adjust from there. As you get closer to 250 CL it get a chalk tasting
