So I’m a thousand percent confused right now. Is this profile bad? Is there a standard I should be shooting for with an neipa?

Not sure if this is the right forum but... thoughts on this profile for a 5 gallon NEIPA?

I’ve been on here a million times to talk about hops burn in my New England IPAs and I never could really figure out why it persists. But I just had some homebrew leftover that I found in my refrigerator in a growler that had been sitting for around three weeks and the hop burn was gone and all...

Awesome. Thank you. I’ll send a message and start a convo soon. My next brew day won’t be for another month so should be enough time to grasp some basics

But if you can recommend a meter that won’t break my piggy bank and lend some tips Id be more than happy to ya e the assistance :)

None of that. lol. I wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Man I wish I could learn this water chemistry bit. I’m a monkey crashing cymbals when it comes to this stuff

So I’m actually using distilled water. But I use Waters brewer neipa mineral packs because I’m awful at chemistry myself

so I've posted multiple times about this topic. Probably due to my refusal to accept defeat. But every time I brew an NEIPA, I get very harsh finish. like a rough aspirin or chalk attribute to the beer that can overwhelm the actual good characteristics of the hops. So i'll take another...

That’s an interesting technique I haven’t tried. Less whirpool the a massive dry hop. Well see how this one turns out. Maybe I won’t do any dry hops at all just to see what that big whirpool addition will do then the next one do the big dry hop like you suggest

I do close transfer as well. But yeah, I agree. The o2 is tricky. The only way I’ve gotten past the burn is cold crashing. I was actually told by a brewer buddy of mine that owns a successful craft brewery that my neipas are too green. I should be sitting on them for 2 weeks. Gonna try...

Yeah. The dry hop shouldn’t be adding any ibus since it’s done on the cold side. I guess as far as lending flavor, I dumped a whole # of hops into the hopstand. How much more flavor can you get? Lol

Just brewed an IPA yesterday. 3# of flakes oats and 15# of 2row 1oz mosaic hops at 5min and then a massive pound of hops (mix of enigma, mosaic, and motueka) Question is. With that kind of hop-load, any reason to dry hop? Also... dry hopping tends to make my beer burn Thoughts?

Brewer friend of mine runs a reputable and distributing brewery. Says their neipas they wait 2 weeks and don’t both with cold crash. I’m trying this on this newest beer. I’ve been doing about a week brew day to keg but notice it has some bite. Also, idk if CO2 “burns off”. Should keep a...

You don’t strain your hops?

It should. I did the same a couple days ago. The cold should make it drop out again but you’ll get a little bit on the first couple pints

Hey everyone - wanted to see if anyone had used a corny keg charger. How good are they and on a 5 gallon keg how much should I expect to get on 1 cartridge? I’m taking with my 10lb co2 tank every time and while it’s effective, it’s also cumbersome Thanks!

Awesome thanks for the suggestion. I’m genuinely curious about this. Going to have to drink through this 5gallons of Porter quickly so I can brew again

I gotta try this. What percentage of the cherrywood took up your grist?

That’s wild. and you didn’t use any other cherry additives?
