I would keep it low for a PU or Czech style lager for a round bitterness that does not linger long. For a Dry German Pils I target 70-90 ppm SO4. They both use noble hops.
How low is low?

Like 40ish for me. Worked nicely.

That is something I am still trying to figure out. Martin has strong evidence that they use Gypsum in PU. How much? I would try something in the 20 ppm SO4 range for starters. You can always add to the finished beer and see how much is too much.

Thanks. I think I will go with the profile I posted before which is 33 ppm of so4 just so I don't need to worry about ro water.
