Checking it today I had it set to 71%, which I think may have been copied from themadfermentationist's recipe, so that's all good! In terms of the water treatment, that sounds like a rabbit hole that I'm not quite ready to squeeze into, I think I might keep it basic for my first brew and see...

I'm metric myself (UK) but realised most people on here deal in gallons so thought I'd convert! Thanks for the tips on the process, definitely some very useful bits in there, especially the water treatment, direct heat on the mash, sparging and bottling bucket with the priming sugar syrup info...

Sounds like good advice aside from the taste clash ;) For the 10 gallon kettle, what are you using and roughly how much did it cost you? Money is a factor here, especially as I know the NEIPA ingredients will set me back more than the average! The cheapest kettle I can get that is of a...

I left it at whatever was standard, not sure off the top of my head but didn't know what to enter! I don't, that's one thing I'll need to look into. Since leaving that comment I have managed to get a water profile for my area of London which I've started to enter into Beersmith. I might need...

That's good to hear! I was worried I was getting a bit ahead of myself reading and watching all the information about it as it did seem pretty straightforward. Definitely more complicated than your standard but by no means ridiculously difficult to grasp. It seems the main thing is discipline...

I realised this almost immediately after posting. I'm currently looking at a 30 litre Burco Cygnet water boiler (7.93 gallons), is that still cutting it fine for a 5 gallon batch? The recipe I've made up ends up with 12.75lb of total grains and Beersmith is telling me I'll need 8.42 gallons...

Although I agree with this being solid advice, there's something about brewing that makes me want to jump right in. The idea of brewing a 'normal' IPA doesn't excite me like a NEIPA does. I've done tonnes and tonnes of research into it including reading blogs, scanning forums, comparing recipes...

Hi guys, long time beer enthusiast but (potential) first time brewer here. I was wondering if my aims are too ambitious and I need a reality check. I'm a big fan (as I'm sure a lot of people on here are) of the New England/Vermont/Northeast style IPAs, Trillium especially, and was wondering...
