Are you keg hopping lose or in a screen or bag?
Most of my NEIPAs have 14-18oz of hops total per 5 gallon batch (boil, whirlpool, dry hop). If I was using a screen, I would divide 4 oz into two screens as the hops will absorb and expand in the screens. Better utilization dividing that amount up.
I've done the trinity brewers dry yeast blend. It wasn't my favorite compared to just 1318
S04 -92%
T58 - 5%
WB06 - 3%
This is a great thread to go through to see what other yeast blends people are using or dry yeast in general. Others do use liquid as well -...
I'm a fan of
A38 Juice - Imperial Organic Yeast
WLP002 English Ale - White Labs Yeast
I've had good results with GigaYeast Double Pitch - GY054 Vermont IPA Yeast but I know there are a lot of stories about this strain being very finicky. I've used it twice so far and it behaved, but if you go...
Whoops mistyped the Ca, suppose to read 129ppm, I edited my post. But I've played around quite a bit with water in my NEIPAs. Was adding lots of salts, little amount of salts, gone up to 300ppm on SO4, then flopped it with Cl. Settled on this. Sorry again for the mistype!
I have some...
Here is what I've been happy with based on talks with Scott Janish
Water Profile: Ca 139 | Mg 5 | Na 0 | SO4 102 | Cl 169
Gypsum - .55g per gallon
Calcium Chloride 1g per gallon
Epsom - .2g per gallon

Soft mouthfeel. I do add ~1lb of lactose per 5 gallons as a 5 minute...
About the 12th time I've brewed and modified this beer. This is a 5.6% version, brewed it for an event. Kicked the keg in under two hours, mouthfeel was on point!

I can't say I've ever done this on purpose. I have brought a keg of NEIPA to a friends but it was keg hopped (in screen). The shaking in the hour car ride really stirred some hop particles back up, but not in a good way. Now I know if I'm brewing for an event not to keg hop or to transfer to...
About to brew my 10th or so iteration of this beer. I've used WLP001, Imperial A38 Juice, Wyeast 1318.
Does anyone have experience using GigaYeast GY054 Vermont IPA yeast? I've heard this strain is finicky; I am looking for a good fermentation temperature schedule for this yeast. Cheers!
I have really been trying to mimic the mouthfeel and texture of Other Half's beers! I'll have to give this a try, their triples are so damn smooth. I was there over this past weekend, their triple mosaic daydream is amazing.
