I have had a crack at the water chemistry based on a Hazy IPA Target profile that I found.
1 gram Calcium Chloride
No Whirlfoc as you want it hazy
But adding in the normal yeast nutrient
It is not supposed to be very bitter, so no boiled hops as the bitterness will come from the APA can – 30 IBU
So steeping for 15 minutes at 75C for all hops.
Just need to play around with quantities of each.
I have just started the recipe on 15 grams of each hop type = 25.38 IBU
So total IBU = 55.38
Dry Hop after 5 days with 35 grams of each hop
Process would be:
Prepare your water volume (25L) as normal with Campden Tablet and bring to strike temperature
Add the Water treatment additions and yeast nutrient with the Flaked Oats and Mash for 30 minutes
Get Whirlpool going
Add LME can and top up with 1.5L of hot water to fully extract all the contents of the can.
Add DME
add hops and steep for 15 minutes
Chill to 20C
Transfer to Fermentor
Pitch yeast
