I think that's a major key with water. The typical NEIPA water profile has 100+ Calcium. That makes for extremely HARD water. I would think you would want a SOFT or softer water profile with NEIPA's to get a softer mouthfeel. I reworked my typical NEIPA water profile in Bru'n Water Supporter...

With 1318, why not underpitch by half and drive the temps if you want esters? That's what someone on here suggested to me and will give it a try in my next brew.

So you're saying to pretty much halve the "standard" pitch rate to coax the fruity esters out of 1318?

Thanks for you findings. I definitely agree with you about the wheat over the oats. As far as yeast goes, I use strictly 1318 and always build a starter based on YeastCalc to give me the appropriate pitch rate. I never underpitch. As far as ferm temps, I have moved towards fermenting at 70F...

The profile I came up with is as follows: Calcium: 40ppm / Magnesium: 13ppm / Sodium: 49ppm / Sulfate: 51ppm / Chloride: 146ppm Hardness (CaCO3): 154ppm A 154ppm hardness is still considered "Hard", but my previous NEIPA water profile was at 348ppm and is considered "Very Hard". I'm really...

I love this thread. I've been brewing NEIPA's since 2015 after my first Tree House can. Since then I've brewed countless batches trying to perfect my "base". I've read so many threads, blogs, etc. on the subject and I'm still finding it difficult to elevate my NEIPA's. I've won two...

Has a water profile been nailed down for this?

Melville, I just made a quick water profile in Bru'n Water using Epsom Salt, Gypsum, and Canning Salt (NaCl). In order to get to your ppm's without using KCl, the Na (Sodium) ppm is at 162. I have a feeling that might be at the threshold of being able to taste. My numbers look like this...

I don't bottle, I keg. I have never had an issue with my NEIPA's changing like this. If a keg even lasts a month it still looks like the day I kegged it. I do big whirlpool/steep additions for 30min., I do a big dry hop addition on day 3 of fermentation, and I autosiphon from my carboy to my...

So no maple?

Patiently waiting. I'm looking to brew this in a few weeks.

Has anyone else brewed this? Was it a success?
