Really happy with the latest iteration of my house NEIPA recipe. Thanks to all for the great information that is continually growing and advancing this great style. This batch was 100% Mandarina Bavaria hops, a full pound for the 5 gallon batch, and turned out super tasty. Cheers y’all!

It’s been bottle conditioning for right at 2 months now. I didn’t have any other brews in the pipeline to repitch onto the cake but I saved it all with some of the residual beer in a growler to keep feeding it starter wort until my next brew day.

Just a quick follow up on this beer: Brewed on 6/9, OG of 1.035 Bottled on 8/31, FG of 1.000 I bottled a few 22 oz bombers with 2 carbonation drops each and let it sit peacefully until today. Wow, this has gone above and beyond my expectations. Dry and bubbly with a great refreshing tartness...

Thanks for the responses! I'll let it go another month to see where it goes and go from there. Pretty excited about this one.

I've used WLP095 for a few generations now and have really enjoyed it so far. I made a starter for my first NEIPA batch (I don't have a stir plate though, I just shake and swish it around periodically) and it smelled wonderfully of peaches and sweet oranges. It fermented below my target FG to...

Pretty happy with my latest iteration. Think I'm finally getting close to the color I've been wanting. I used pilsner as the base malt and upped my wheat percentage. Also changed to 1318 yeast for the first time and did only flame out, whirlpool, and one addition of dry hops. Still plenty...

First of all, thanks to all of y'all for the wealth of knowledge and information in this thread and on this forum. I've been slowly learning more and more each day and try to become a better brewer with each batch. With that being said, I just kegged for the first time in my first kegerator...

Could I get a code, please? My first batch will be ready for bottling next weekend and I'd love to have some for it! Thanks!
