    Adding fruit purée to lactose IPAs

    My first attempt at a "milkshake" IPA. Basically the same NEIPA recipe I've used for months now but with a pound of Lactose added to the boil and the addition of apricot purée in the fermenter... I have two 3.1 lb cans. I have a couple questions for anyone that has some experience with these...

    frustrations with over-attenuation in IPAs

    Well, I've come to the point where I'm desperate for advice on issues with over attenuation. It doesn't seem to matter which thermometer I use for mash temps, the size of my starter ( 1L vs 2L), ferm temps, type of yeast... you name it. MY BEERS ARE FINISHING SO DRY! I don't know if in the...

    Aroma/Flavor from hops I just can't put my finger on

    So I used about 6 oz total Mandarina Bavaria hops, along with about 8 oz of other hops, for a DIPA I just kegged last week. I'd never used them before but from all the talk expected a giant citrus bomb. So 4 oz went in the kettle as a late addition and 2 were saved as part of a dry hop regiment...

    Super light blonde color for IPA

    Trying to find a malt bill for an IPA 5-8% abv range where the color stays super light blonde. Also sort of the dryness of a pale ale too. Just looking for a really crisp neutral malt that gives way to straight hop flavor and aroma. The lightest I've been able to get a beer so far is like a...
