You may have dirty lines in your kegerator or a dirty spigot as well. If not cleaned frequently they can be unpleasant in a beer

My two NEIPA batches to date have ended up relatively similar: hazy and orange after dry-hopping and straining to keg where they stayed that way and poured that way for ~7-10 days. After that a noticeable darkening approaching what I would consider to be closer in color to a pale ale like...

Even a DDH NEIPA with proper carbonation will yield a head, just not sure how well it retains the head. In my case the earlier pours from my kegerator on this NEIPA i made yielded a very nice head (as in picture) but the longer it sat in keg even on steady carbonation the head dissipated rather...

You will never look back and your life will be more fulfilling.

Can you post any details regarding your fermentation - specifically the temp in primary and the types of yeast you have been using?

Recently made a NEIPA and decided to use the glass carboy / big mouth bubbler from NorthernBrewer so I could more easily dry-hop during active fermentation and have the best idea when to add them. I used pellet hops and it was a total of 8oz different hops at different intervals. I was able to...

+ 1 on the gypsum/calcium chloride addition and also on the DIPA or Wyeast 1318 over the S04. I used a 300 micron hop screen to filter from primary rather than going to secondary and it came out nice and hazy, creamy and no hop particulate

There's a recipe that has come out well for me several times - friends and family seem to like it, and I make around this time every year based off an Irish Stout recipe ive had for a few years (for St Pats) but to be honest, I'm never really trying to duplicate it and always seem to try to...

I snuck a hydrometer reading out via a sanitized turkey baster because I was curious and I'm going to let it sit another day or two. I appreciate the response. I know folks are split on cold crashing vs not for NE style IPA and DIPA but i think the haze is here to stay and i'd feel better at...

I decided to brew a partial grain NEIPA using 1318 London Ale lll yeast and its been 10 days in primary in a glass carboy and looks fantastic. O.G. was 1.078 which was slightly higher than anticipated and things got fermenting rather quickly and aggressively for 2-3 days at a steady 70 degrees...

Welcome! Also from Bergen County!

And of course, in hour #40, the bubbles started. Thanks im back off my ledge now

nope, still at 1.052

After 5 successful 5g brews that have made me quite pleased, my 6th batch seems to have been my first mis-fire. I pretty much have used the same method - extract kits with liquid yeast, all from AHS. My latest, a Citra pale Ale all went well on brew day. I pitched the White Labs WLP051, which...

This beer turned out fantastic! Onto my next batch - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone!
