Well here it is, another guy ask about NE IPA stuff. Before I ask, I’ll tell you quickly about my experience with the style.
This is my 3 version of this IPA style and the best so far. I have avoided asking the beginner stuff in the forums until now.
I cannot shake that hot,green,bitterness on the back of the tongue with these IPAs. What is the usual culprit? I have good water chemistry, I introduce as little post ferment oxygen as possible, and I’ve changed up my hop additions several times.
I went from FWHing my el dorado hops to now only boiling 2 oz for 10 min. Everything else goes in the hop stand and fermentor.
Hopping schedule:
2oz el dorado @ 10 min
Hop stand 170F 30min:
1oz el dorado
1oz mosaic cryo
1oz mandarina Bavaria
2oz Simcoe
Dry hop 5 days:
1oz of each hop listed above at high krausen
The vegetal, hot bitterness usually fades a bit in the keg. But while I wait for that to fade it loses those fresh hop aromas.
I visit a brewery near me with fantastic NE IPAs and I have never tasted that in their beer.
The aroma is very much there. Strong passion fruit bubblegum ice cream. But then the sip leaves you with just harsh plant matter.
