Westy 6 Clone

[JP]

I have a clone for this beer that is pretty right on as it is, but it lacks some sort of hop crispness. Anyone else try to clone this mu'fuck?

Do you think the lack of Hop Crispness is water/mineral related?

I have a westy 6 in my fridge I think if anyone wants it as a base to test their clone <snort>

Ultimately I think that is the issue, yeah.

Have you tried a German Pilsner water profile?
