I'll be brewing this on Nov. 1st at Teach a Friend to Brew day, Denny Conn hosts this event at his place each year and invites a few locals to brew.

One thing I noticed in the recipe is the water profile. My well water is extremely soft and I have been using Randy Mosher's Ideal Pale Ale profile with great success. The profile that is in the recipe is almost the same except for Mg, which Randy has at 18ppm and Mike has as 118ppm. I am hoping Mike has typo there. According to John Palmer, levels of Mg at 125ppm have a laxative effect. Or maybe it Mike's plan is to give us all the runs

Cheers,
Tom

Yikes!! That IS a typo. I''ll get that fixed on beerdujour.com ASAP. It's 18ppm.

I've seen this referenced a few times here and there, where are Randy's ideal water profiles published? Are these from this Radical Brewing book, or a different Mosher book?

And McDole, your compliments for the North Oakland Triple Rock are awesome.. Thank you. A full write up and recipe should be in Zymurgy next month, we'll see.

Cheers!!

I do not know of the actual source. The only place I have seen them published is Ken Schwartz's Quickie Water Chemistry Primer.

I noticed the profiles in my Promash water database awhile back and am having a hard time remembering if I entered those or if they were part of an upgrade or a download.

I brewed this yesterday for our Christmas party at work. I, too, did the Columbus/Centennial substitution. Pitched a Pacman slurry from a brown ale I had just racked. Had active fermentation in 3 hours. The sweet wort smelled and tasted wonderful.

I brewed it today also and got 1.066. I forgot to adjust the efficiency on the recipe to what I usually get. Gonna be great though.
