Prepare yourself for when you open that bag of 1019. It's the most pungent fruity smell I've smelled from a bag of hops since 2016 Galaxy.

I have used spelt in the past, but for some reason I stopped using it. As far as oxidation goes, I have a fermonster and modified the lid so I can do pressurized transfers. I haven't had any issues with oxidation with that setup. I will be switching to fermenting in a Megamouth Torpedo keg...

So if I use raw wheat or even flaked wheat or flaked oats again, I should use β-glucanase? Seems easy enough.

I took what Evan at Green Cheek said about hazys and just used a different yeast. Their beers are hazy, thick, and flavorful.

I dry hopped with a few points left. Also used 30% raw wheat and 10% flaked oats. Not letting it finish, doing a soft crash, then dry hopping is what I should have done. I tasted it before I dumped it. Smelled great, but had a tart character I didn't like.

I agree. I'm going back to Escarpment Foggy London.

That's probably what it was. I tried hopping at the tail end of fermentation. I should have stuck with what I usually do and soft crash for a day or two, then dry hop.

I'm sure it's great, but this was not a good first impression for me. I have never had a hazy ipa drop clear and I've been brewing them since 2016. I was excited to try it since it's the yeast Fidens uses. Their beers look like OJ without the use of Southern Hemisphere hops. Not quite sure...

I already dumped it and will be rebrewing with Escarpment Foggy London in a few days. It's a good thing I brew 2 gallon batches. Wasn't nearly as painful as dumping a 5+ gallon batch.

Citra from Ted at Hop Heaven and Motueka from YVH.

During cold crash, my 1272 hazy double dropped clear. It had a 5lbs. per barrel equivalent dry hop in it along with 30% raw wheat and 10% flaked oats. Water was 200ppm Chloride and 70ppm Sulfate. Calcium was below 100ppm. I dry hopped with a few points left. Not sure where I went wrong.

So what's the consensus about 2024 Galaxy? Is it worth buying? I buy pretty much all my hops from YVH. Have any of you had good luck with 2024 Galaxy from them?

Yeast in suspension to give you haze is not the way. It's the polyphenols from the hops binding to proteins.

Would it be possible to petition the BJCP to revise or change the category to properly fit the description of what a hazy ipa is?

What about 1272 makes it a game changer? I know it's the equivalent to what Fidens uses, but what about it makes it great?

Any guesses on the hopping rate or final gravity of the new Brujos & Troon hazy? According to Sam during an interview, he said for his triple hazys he shoots for a final gravity of 1.016-1.018 and his hopping rate is 5-6lbs. per barrel. Troon's methods are a mystery, but I have a feeling Troon...

Here's my HBC 1019 single IPA. Small batch (2G) brew. Used at 2oz. whirlpool and 5oz. dry hop. Big orange and tropical fruit on the nose and taste, zero bitterness. This is 6 days after kegging. Sorry for the lighting. This was last night when my wife wanted a pour. The lighting isn't the...

I thought the newest 2024 crop was supposed the be pretty good, but it hasn't hit the US yet.

I bought a half pound of HBC 1019 from YVH. The smell when I opened the bag was crazy. I haven't smelled hops like these since 2016 Galaxy. Going to brew an all HBC 1019 single hazy. Just trying to figure out how much for the WP and DH. This will be a 2 gallon batch. If anybody on here has...

Let me tell you, Galaxy from 2016 to 2018 was bangin for us homebrewers. Unfortunately, it hasn't even been in the same galaxy since then.
