Notes

Note: Water profile is based on Effingham, Surrey water so "Other Ingredients" are based on average samples of that water only.

The Water profile is really important for this beer to shine.
Use the brewing water calculator to counter the alkalinity in your water to achieve a mash pH of around 5.4.
Target a 1:3 chloride to sulphate ratio.

Made right, you will not be disappointed with this brew!
