Thanks for all the feedback everyone, it is truly appreciated. Don't mean to sound frustrated/unappreciative, but we all put tons of time (and $$$) into these beers, and it seems like there is always some sort of brewing boogeyman that I need to watch out for that will ruin my beer. I will...

Thank you. Will check it out.

Thanks for the feedback....Will taste later this week and get back.

If it's oxidized, then I give up. I don't do secondarys, dry hop in primary, and Co2 closed transfer.

It's got a nice carb on it now....tasting it...it's a nice danky with some fruity...No aroma...Would have thought the citra/el dorado fruitiness would come through a lot more considering large whirlpool and dry hop.

I use grain socks for this batch. Two, each filled with 3 oz of pellets...Should be plenty of room to expand. There were not compressed..

Word. I have the "Cold Crash Guardian" from Bobby @ Brewhardware. Didn't use it this time around...Will do next time.

I typically don't cold crash as suck back becomes an issue, right? So this could be part of it.

Thanks.....Will remember for future. I use a standard/general water profile for NEIPAs.

And this was my adjusted water (Per Brewer's Friend Calc): Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 HCO Actual 146.7 3.0 4.0 156.8 79.2 79.046

Yes. Have had it tested 2x by Ward Labs....Very neutral well water. As far as serving, I will pour, and let it sit for a bit. pH 7.7 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 98 Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.16 Cations / Anions, me/L 1.8 / 1.6 ppm Sodium, Na 4 Potassium, K < 1 Calcium...

Will post photo later.

Filling with Starsan, pushing it all out/purging keg with Co2. I'm not expecting Heady Topper, but a hint of hop aroma would be nice!

High Chloride/Lower Sulfate is common for the NEIPA style. Hops smell fine.

I have it at 12 psi since Friday. Starting to carb up nicely, usually medium carb...

Dry hopped for 5 days at 66 degrees. +2 weeks is when hops were added. Pellet hops in bags. I’ve used shot glasses in past to weigh bags down. (That hasn’t helped)

Was going for Focal Banger type thing...misses my #s efficiency sucked (61%)...target og was 1.070, but just wanted a 7ish % IPA. That’s what I got... I think it a solid recipe. Brew Method: All Grain Style Name: Specialty IPA: New England IPA Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 7 gallons (fermentor...

I’m sure there are a thousand threads on this, but what the hell... Sitting here sampling a NE IPA that I kegged on Friday night..(early, I know) but can’t help to think I am once again underwhelmed by hop aroma. I’m sure being under carbed isn’t helping, but this is consistent with my...

Hi all- I currently have a 10G 240V Blichmann BrewEasy. (15G MT + 20G BK). Pump, and chiller., I saw the horizontal 2 vessel pilot system they have on their site (https://www.blichmannengineering.com/20-gallon-electric-2-vessel-pilot-system.html), and it got me thinking- Going horizontal...
