have you ever gotten a quinine like flavor in lighter style beers, particularly saisons when using an elevated sulfate level?
OP again. No this isn’t a NEIPA but I was wondering about water treatment and fruitier hops, specifically Galaxy. I appreciate the input and will be brewing this weekend. Looks like I’ll go back more toward a traditional pale ale water with the following:
Ca 93
Mg 4
Na 23
Sulfate 152
Chloride 49
pH 5.28
That looks good.
Whats your hop schedule look like? What yeast are you using.
More late hop additions, more flavor and aroma.
Use a yeast that will not take away from the hops.
I hope you have an excellent brew day.
FWH and late. 1450.
I haven’t had any experience with wyeast at all.
But if its Denny Bru’s favorite i guess it must be good.
Im curious to know how it turns out with Galaxy hops.
Cheers
How did this turn out?
Ive learned a lot about my water and what works for me since this post.
How about you?
It was ok. No trouble getting rid of it. Beer wasn’t as fruity as I’d hoped- first time using galaxy hops. Probably won’t repeat it
What was your grain bill and mash pH?
