I did 50:150 sulfate:chloride for my gold medal winning milkshake IPA. I usually do 1:2 sulfate:chloride for NEIPA's, but I think anywhere in that ballpark you'll be good.

Tough to describe the intensity... The smoke is very upfront, but it doesn't completely overwhelm the malt and hops and the beer is still refreshing and even crushable. On a scale from 1 (no smoke) to 10 (straight up campfire), I'd say its a 5 or a 6. For the cold crash I went as quickly as...

All this Citra/Nelson/Riwaka talk on this thread is getting me real pumped for this batch to be ready!

Yeah I've never used it either, so I wasn't really thinking earthy/dank based on the YVH description of "sweet fruit, powerful citrus aromas of pink grapefruit, fresh and zesty aroma". I'm thinking it should be nice in the dry hop.

Thanks for sharing! I saw this just moments too late and went with 1:1:1 ratio, I'll report on the results in a month or so.

@Dgallo How would you split up 4 oz Nelson, 4 oz Riwaka, and 6 oz Citra in a ~7% NEIPA?

Oh nice! I judged Pale Bitter European, and American Porter & Stout.

@Dgallo I saw a certain honorable mention for a pale ale in a local competition I judged in over the weekend. Unfortunately I was at a different table, wish I could have tried it!

This is one of my absolute favorite styles, and since its somewhat hard to find commercially, so its the perfect style to homebrew. I've brewed this twice now with zero changes made the second time, and recently got a silver medal in the smoked category of a local competition. This recipe...

Just my two cents on Great Notion's NEIPAs... I started going to their original location in when they opened in 2016. During the first few years I had some of the best NEIPA's I've ever had there. Sometimes a little hit or miss, but for example, Overripe in its prime was a masterpiece. The...

That combo is on my list for another time! This time I'm looking to maximize my use of HBC 586.

Excited to use HBC 586 for the first time in my next NEIPA. I'm thinking about doing the Trillium style with all Columbus in the whirlpool and then HBC 586, Citra & Columbus in the whirlpool. I'm curious what combos others have had success with, I also have these on hand: Amarillo El Dorado...

Now with 21C: Hazy IPA the guidelines are "substantial haze" and "medium to medium-full body" but they shouldn't have a "creamy or viscous mouthfeel" which to me means enter anything with noticeable lactose under 21B. For what it's worth, I've scored everywhere from 22 to 43. I've gotten gold...

Yep Flagship is their version of the Chico strain/wy1056/wlp001, that's what I use for my West Coast IPAs.

Not much harm in entering and getting feedback on a 2 week old IPA. I personally shoot for 3-5 weeks in the keg when I enter competitions.

I actually started attaching a liquid disconnect to the liquid post so that the co2 comes up from the surface through the floating dip tube. Maybe I just need to tighten everything up a bit better, its just frustrating when I need to leave the lid open longer to tighten that bolt.

I run into a small issue with this setup and I'm curious if anyone else has. When I got to dry hop, I attach the gas disconnect, start to open the lid, turn the gas on once gas can escape, keep spinning the lid until its open and toss the hops in. My issue is that by spinning the lid with the...

Just want to say +1 too the hot side Columbus and fruity dry hop combo. I've done this same technique a bunch of times with different dry hops - Citra (gold 40/50), Mosaic (bronze 39/50), Vic Secret, Galaxy/Mosaic, and Citra/Galaxy/Mosaic. All fantastic. Just bought some Columbus lupomax that...

All good notes, thanks. I actually did move back to a single dry hop, since I haven't noticed any difference once I started splitting into two. I never thought to go that low with Chico. I also can't say I've noticed a big difference since I started soft crashing before dry hop, but there...
