Wanted to experiment with combining columbus, cascade and centennial and see how things come out. Thoughts?

Looks good to me. Now on to the water treatment...

Looks good. Very close to the one we now have priming, except I used Chinook instead of Columbus, and I used Citra to dry hop it because I wanted more fruit on the nose. You will have to ask Kyle how it was after he opens his bottle in a week or so. It is however the first beer where Anita turned to me and said, "This tastes like a Nash beer". I can't think of a better complement.

First thing is get your water profile. If you are on city water, it should be online.

We should start a thread on the HRM water profiles and how to manipulate them. I'll throw them up in a bit.

I have found this conversion table useful.
