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.
