Does this look like a reasonable German Pils extract recipe? I am most concerned about the IBU's as calculated by this tool. I don't have much experience using the tool and don't want to way under- or over-hop it. :) Also to note, I typically use our well tap water. We have a good water softener so mineral content is relatively low. I have read that German Pils is best brewed with slightly hard water. In the past I have augment with CaSO4 (gypsum). What, if anything, should I add to the water for this brew?
