Long story short I've ended up with an estimated 432ppm sulphate in my latest brew, very hoppy Pacific ale with Pacific jade, Motueka and galaxy. Overlooked the original water sulphate level in the base water.
Apart from the obvious harsh bitterness I had lower than expected mash conversion down about 8%, can't figure out why, pH was on point, temp good etc.
Can this much sulphate effect the mash?
Would have ended up with water profile Ca 131, Mg 27, Na 40, Cl 432. Cl/So4 0.46
