No steeping grains used, just 4 lbs of wheat dme and 8 oz table sugar (3 gal batch). OG 1.065 FG 1.014 For 5 gal batch that would be about 6.5 lbs dme and 12 oz sugar. Cheers!

Just wanted to throw this out there for any lurking extract brewers. I rarely brew with extract but I just had a baby and being limited on time I threw this together with supplies I had laying around. It actually turned out pretty damn good. I used muntons wheat dme and us-05, us-04 would be a...

I had to make changes to save time due to my kids. Been doing no sparge and 30 min boils for about 3 yrs now. I still mash 60 mins and get about 76% efficiency. Im happy to say my beer has only gotten better!

Is it actually powder? Or is it the pelleted cryo hops LupuLN2? The LupuLN2 pellets dissolved and went into solution about the same as regular old pellet hops for me. Just used them for the first time on this last batch so my experience is limited. FYI the LupuLN2 is about twice as strong at...

Thanks! I'll have to take a closer look at that, I skimmed through it a while back when it popped up on a different thread. I remember kind of hitting a wall when trying to envision using it with a double dry hopped beer. I was kind of hoping to get some personal experience and techniques on...

Thanks! A little off topic but could anyone out there school me on using a spunding valve with fermentation and natural carbonation? I ferment in corny kegs and would like to give it a try and see if there's an improvement on my NEIPAs.

Hi all, I might of missed it but was Hill Farmstead dregs ever tested? Though I read many pages back some one was sending out a growler to be tested?

Looking forward to try us-04 in my next one! This thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=623221&page=21 Got me interested. Anyways maybe a little off topic but can anyone out there school me using a spunding valve? I ferment in keg and plan on dry hoping and spunding in keg...

From my personal experience, if I dryhop during active fermentation it stays cloudy till it kicks, but if i wait around too long on the first dryhop it starts to clear up a little after a about 2-3 weeks. But I regularly spit a batch in half and quick sour one half with no hops added, fermented...

Nice! I'm about to try this. I'm gonna leave the cryohops in the keg tho, I had to buy some after reading the latest NEIPA The Mad Fermentationist post. Mike said it made his best NEIPA yet.

I would move that first dry hop to day 3 or 4, 1318 should be done fermenting by day 7

Hey all want to try a new yeast with this. I've used Conan, 1318 and wlp644, with 1318 (London 3) being my favorite so far. I saw 1272 is popular, any other favorites out there? 1968? Dennys fav? Thanks!

I was having this problem too, trying to push via co2 from a carboy. This last batch I ferment in a corny keg with a home made floating dip tube, cold crashed keg over night then jumped to a water purged keg. You can stop the flow when you can see hop particles coming threw. I make 3.5 gallon...

I saw in your blog you brewed a nelson pale in June and you got some bad batches of nelson. I just tapped a nelson/galaxy version NEIPA and I'm very disappointed, the nelson didn't smell right but I used them anyway because those suckers are expensive. Lesson learned, don't be cheap and trust...

Very true, Ill give it a shot and report back. I've done the CMG enough times I should be able to tell if it turns out different, or maybe citra:equinox(my personal favorite). I'm going to order a clear beer draught system to try out, I made my own floating dip tube but I'm not 100% pleased with...

Hey all, I was wanting to get your opinion on an idea I have. I have made this beer with variations 20+ times. I've done the second dry hop in primary, in an DH keg then transferred to serving keg, and DH in serving keg that was left at room temp for a few days then chilled, carbed, served with...

Hey, anyone out there have any tips on brewing a milkshake/smoothie IPA with lactose? I recently have a passion fruit smoothie IPA from a local brewery (roughtail in OKC) and it was awesome. I was gonna use my usual NEIPA but I didn't know if I should up the IBUs so it's not too sweet, I usually...

Let us know how it turns out, I've been thinking about the same hop combo.

For those of you who have used wlp644 sacch trois before with this beer, any tips on temps or just in general. Gonna try it out next week, never used this yeast

I usually use Columbus or apollo in a lot of NEIPAs I've made. Mostly small charge at 60 and 10, 5, flameout/hopstand, and only a tiny bit in dry hop because it will tend to dominate (especially with keg hopping). But I find it adds a different level of flavor to the beer that I like, IMO just...
