I'm starting with Crystal Geyser water. Relatively soft (60 ppm in terms of alkalinity) no chlorine and small amount of calcium
Doing 8g of both gypsum and CaCl for 8 gallons of water. Will give a good match of sulfate and chlorine in the water as well as lowering the residual alkalinity in our mash for the lighter color.

Notes

Dry hop about 3 days into fermentation or when the krausen begins to fall.

Cold crash for 24hrs at end of fernentation then rack to a C02 purged keg. Oxygen is our enemy. You can dry hop in the keg as well to give a lasting aroma.

I've brewed this twice. I absolutely love it, thanks for sharing. I've only made small changes for my own tastes. I ended up using Cashmere in the third batch instead of Wimea. And I split the grain between Extra Pale Malt and Maris Otter, 3lb of Flaked, and 1lb of White Wheat. It came out very very pale. The whirlpooling was the same, it really mellows that bitterness. Again, thank for the recipe. Cheers.
