I'm the same when it comes to water chemistry. I decided I was more interested in developing my own recipes than cloning or brewing something from a book. I do look at recipes for inspiration or to get an idea what ratios of grain etc . I just filter my water and go with it.
I am interested in consistency when rebrewing a recipe unless it's a seasonal one where you can't always guarantee the ingredients are always the same.
My beers are my 'version' of (insert style) and I'm pleased with the results!

Has anyone tried brewing a NEIPA with the Grainfather? It's the style I want to nail the most but reading that water make-up is even more crucial than usual and my mind is being boggled by all the science and opinion on how to turn hard city water into something soft enough to brew with. I don't really want to have to buy plastic containers of mineral water every time I make a batch
