I will take it. DM sent.

08882, I may take it.

Interesting. I never made and exact side by side because by the time I tried 1272, i had already moved to 1056 so, I was able to test similar hazy beers side by side by 1272 vs 1056. I could tell the difference, but the beers had different hops. I did do an exact side by side of single hopped...

I leave about 1/2 gallon of headroom and 1318 blows off every time. 1272 seems to stop about half way up and has never come out the blow off tube for me.

I think this boils down to a personal preference. I have two hazy's that are my goto Kane Party Wave and Brewdog Hazy Jane. Brewdog puts in the DIY spreadsheet that they use 1056 and I am pretty sure Kane uses some chico strain or similar for all of their IPAs. I used LAIII and Conan and never...

This might be blasphemy, but I stopped using LAIII and Conan for NEIPAs. I use American Ale 2 (1272). It seems to like to start fermenting again at ~60. So, I guess the result will vary based on yeast strain.

HB NEIPA. It went to down too fast, I need another.

I ferment in SS buckets. So, cannot see if they are floating. I let the hops warm to room temp before i dry hop. They are floating when I put the lid on. I see a sudden raise in gravity on my tilt then by day two it is sitting back the gravity it was before drying hopping. I would say at least...

I have been really enjoying Sabro, I have never used it until recently. I would get hop burn when I cold crashed to 50 then let it rise back up to 60+. I am going to stay with this method for all of my NEIPAs. It is great to keg an NEIPA, then be able to drink it as soon as it is force carbed.

I have been doing the same thing lately. I crash to 50, dry hop for 2 days, cold crash to 33, then keg. My most recent NEIPA is the best one yet (Citra/Sabro/Galaxy) and I have probably made 50 NEIPAs at this point. Since I started hopping at 50, I no longer run into hop burn. Also my beers...

I made an NEIPA with 30% oats. It came out way better then I expected. Oat NEIPA New England IPA 6.2% / 15.2 °P All Grain Anvil Foundry 6.5 Gallon 72% efficiency Batch Volume: 3 gal Boil Time: 60 min Mash Water: 4.44 gal Total Water: 4.44 gal Boil Volume: 3.99 gal Pre-Boil Gravity: 1.053...

Interesting to me how so many people complain about conan being “finicky”. I have more trouble with 1318 then anything else. I use 0YL-052 for multiple different styles, i overbuild starters about 10 times before buying a new pack. It always performs the way I would expect it to.

I use a bag. I also have false bottom that I had custom made from Norcal. The malt pipe didn't allow for enough grain for some of my bigger beers. I also like to send 3 gallons into the fermentor, so I can fill my 2.6 gallon kegs.

Since we are talking about Kane. Here is my attempt to make something similar to Party Wave. It comes out pretty good, but I think @HopsAreGood may be onto something. I use either Conan or 1318 I may try Chico next New England IPA 7.2% / 17.5 °P Recipe by Anvil Foundry 6.5 Gallon 69% efficiency...

Interesting, the only thing I could taste in the DDH party wave was that Belgian taste. I guess I am pretty sensitive to it. It also just bothers me because I had no intention of buying/drinking a Belgian NEIPA.
