I'm playing around with a few recipes i am formulating with water and malt/hops in mind and it got me thinking.....
What is the highest S/C ratio people have purposely brewed with?
For example i have been playing around with a recipe in Beersmith and i thought i would see what the water tool would spit out as a suggest "light & hoppy" water profile to match a recipe.
And surprisingly it bang on calculated a water addition list to hit the profile. But it did it with resultant S/C ratio of 3.0..........
Is this bad or good? Has anyone here explored how the ratio balances with IBU's and perceived (water profile) bitterness???
