Kimmich does not give much guidance on water chem, leaving it up to the homebrewer but indicates that it's not the "soft chewy stuff that's all the rage" and that the beer requires a mineral "blockiness" to carry the hops.

Using NYC water here, I went with Brewer's Friend's "Light Colored and Hoppy" profile and boosted the Chloride and Gypsum a bit as it describes itself as subtle. May have to up it. approx 3/1 gypsum to chloride ratio taking his "blockiness" to mean a decent gypsum balance.

Notes

Scaled a bit for my equipment.

The Zymurgy rec uses hop extract for the bittering addition but they give the IBUs it contributes. I subbed for 50 IBUs of a standard bittering hop (in this case Warrior but could easily be Magum).

I don't whirlpool so the recipe suggested a hopstand "for 10 min. before you begin chilling." It indicates that it should contribute 8 IBU so I dropped my hopstand utilization to 5% to hit it 8 IBU.
