Water profile Fresh Squeezed IPA
« on: February 26, 2021, 06:56:56 pm »
Greetings,

I want to get some input on the water profile I should use making an homage to Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA.  Should I do a New England profile or a regular IPA profile?
Some day we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny

IMHO, I would use  a regular IPA profile.  I have had Fresh Squeezed and I think it would enhance the grapefruit fruit flavor.  But that is just me.

I would go with a higher sulphate to chloride ratio.

I would do a regular IPA water profile I wouldn’t use the New England profile unless you are trying to brew up a Hazy.
