Tokyo tap water. Only have calcium chloride and gypsum to work with. The amounts used are obviously dependent on my water volumes (18L) etc. Only added salts to mash water.

Notes

Stocked up too many leftovers in my freezer, rather than throw them away, I thought I'd make a possibly stale and mostly like "meh" IPA.

Leftovers to be consumed:

  • 250g Crystal C15
  • 50g Vic Secret
  • 30g Cascade
  • 25g CTZ

    Acidulated was to adjust pH to ~5.35 (predicted, didn't measure)


    Taste tests
    After 3 weeks, I can't decide if its too bitter, too grassy, or just not malty enough. Probably a bit of all three. Want to dial back the sulfate stuff next time, this was first try at that. Would like a bit malty taste next time too.
