How'd it taste? I'm thinking of doing a mix of Ebbegarden and Hornindal. then after that I'm gonna mix Ebbegarden and wlp644

Yeah, I'm thinking of going back to basics. I did see that they have Bairds Caramel light and I think thats close to C-35 and then they have caramel pilnser malt from Bestmalz so I'm assuming that means carapils. But damn, after reading about carahell I wanna try it now haha. But for this...

So, I'm making an old recipe but I don't have access to the ingredients I used to. (I'm overseas) It's an IPA and the grainn bill was 43.5% 2-Row 43.5% M.O. 6.5% C-35 4.3% Cara-pils we don't have c-35 or Carapils/Dexterine here so I'm thinking of using 4.2% Carahell 4.2% Munich I know...

So I get that it can yield head, and I agree that it should. My question is why so many places don't do that only for this style

Yeah that looks right to me. A little more would be perfect to me but that's much better than what I see them pouring and I can't figure out why

I feel the same, I need the foam! He mentioned that about the bitterness also but does the amount of head factor in to that? I can pour a low carbed beer to have lots of head. Also, so many German and Belgium styles use a lot of head but aren't bitter, so I'm guessing there's another reason...

Poured with minimal head. He said the same thing about the jucyness but would head detract from that? I would think that head would release more aromatics and enhance it, but I don't know much about this area. And yeah, they undercarb to help the juicy feel, that also makes me wonder why more...

That's what I thought also, then he started sending me pics of beers from the too makers and they all had minimal head, and he said that a few brewers said that's on purpose.

My friend pointed out to me that lots of places that make hazy IPAs put very little head on their beers. Is there a reason for this? I thought head helps release aromatics, wouldn't you want a regular sized one on a beer as aromatic as a hazy IPA?

A few thoughts about replies I have seen (paraphrased)... "ugh, that sounds like a gross beer" -Maybe, but most beers that are a style you don't like are gross to you. I'd sooner try a Doritos beer than I would a dunkel. Plus, probably every new thing was thought of as gross before it was tried...

Just realized I forgot an N, the name above should be drink gently, it's going to be a strong beer

also..

I just made this cause I was thinking about Newhart and it was in Vermont, so here's my tribute. But I'm not brewing an NEIPA in the near future, oh well.

I think they are. Ive heard some people talking about how they think it's a waste of time and money. But I don't get that, are they against advertising? Cause that's all this was. And I doubt it was expensive at all. It is a cheap, easy, and humorous way to get their name out. And it must be...

My post was in response to someone that said the BA just needs to educate the consumer, but Orval does have a label like the BA is doing. :) http://www.trappist.be/en/pages/logo-atp I think they are doing what lots of beer and wine and cheese places do. They are trying to make sure that the...
