    Wee Heavy Recipe critique

    Hey guys I came across this recipe from Basic Brewing radio and wandered if this looked like a killer recipe? I really like the idea of using Nottingham for the yeast. I was wandering if anyone happened to brew this or have suggestions? 15.5 lbs Brittish Pale Malt 4oz Honey malt 4oz Roasted...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I never jumped on the 20-40% flaked adjuncts bandwagon myself. I have for the moment settled on 7% each of flaked wheat/oats with decent results. I usually do MO and 2 row 50/50 with honey malt around 2.5%. Tried Golden Promise & Pilsner, I will have to try Spelt. Right now i'm drinking Sip of...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Yes sir your correct I have done Simcoe Amarillo several times in the past with decent results. I had these hops so decided to give this a whirl. My only concern is I'm using WLP002 English Ale yeast because it's what i could get local. I really prefer Imperial Juice. Like many in here and...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I started dry hopping loose in the keg even though I have a glycol chilled conical. Trying to get 10oz of hops out of the conical is such a PITA before transferring which is why I now keg hop. I’m also using fermentation to purge my DH and serving keg. Next step is get the DH keg in the keezer...

    Anyone tried Nottingham in a NEIPA?

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I keep finding more and more ways to improve my dry hop process. I just added my dry hops Mosaic/Simcoe/Amarillo into the hop keg and using fermentation c02 from my conical to purge this and the serving keg at the same time. I am using the hop spider with the hole drilled through the top to...

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale The Pious - Westvleteren 12 style quad - multiple

    I caught hell trying to bottle using my beer gun and gave up. I froze the bottles and used the long beer line, all the tricks to keep the foam down. I could not get the bottles full due to all of the foam pouring out. I haven't been able to get my kegged version to the quality of the bottle...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Can anyone recommend a good hop schedule for using Mosaic/Simcoe/Amarillo ? I am using up some old hops and want to give this a whirl. I have done Simcoe Amarillo before and it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately i will be using WLP002 on this batch instead of Imperial Juice. I think the hot...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Sip of Sunshine clone in the books. I know it’s not a NEIPA but I’m trying my first keg hop and using fermentation to purge the two kegs. The keg next to the conical will have 3oz of Citra and the far right is the serving keg. The only thing I don’t like is my DH keg has a floating dip tube so...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    You hate Nottingham in general or just for Neipa's? I typically use Imperial Juice as my go too NEIPA yeast, but id like to try some dry yeast for a change. I have never used Verdant or New England, I will have to give these a try. Thank you guys for your input. On a side note, my next batch...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Added grain bill above. Imperial Juice is my favorite NEIPA yeast you should definitely try it. Yeah I’m not stuck on the haze it’s just odd to see this beer clearer than previous versions with same grain bill and yeast. What’s even odd is my neighbor brewed same beer same amount of times as me...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Latest batch in the books. I have brewed a variation of this beer four times now and have yet to clone what I’m after. It still a really good beer! I experimented using tap water as well and really happy with the results, I usually build my water from distilled. I have never had Imperial Juice...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I have a inline filter I can use. I’m paranoid the beer storing around inside the filter housing is somehow introducing oxygen. I always purge the line of beer but it seems like the filter housing is never completely full which makes me paranoid about o2. What does the racking arm position have...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Lesson learned, I will get a Teflon gasket. I do have a reducer to a small hose for dumping. I just assumed as long as the racking arm was above the hops it didn't matter the position. By level are you saying move the racking arm to the 9 or 3 o'clock position during fermentation then 1 - 2...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I do have a racking arm and always leave it pointed down. I have always been hesitant to rotate, this could be my problem. I never have any issues with other beers just NEIPA’s. I watched the video and see this guy is transferring into a pressurized keg which I don’t do. I fill my keg all the...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Hey guys I need some help with your process when brewing NEIPA’s with 8-12oz dry hop charges and getting the hops to settle out. I have about a dozen or so NEIPA brews under my belt using my CF5 with sight glass and glycol chiller. I can get my temps down to about 40 for cold crashing. I always...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Its been a few months but I forgot how much a PITA this style is to brew. If it wasn’t my favorite style I’d throw in the towel. I have a Spike CF5 conical with a/c glycol chiller and always catch hell trying to get all the hops and trub to drop while cold crashing. On this batch I’m really...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I just added my second round of dry hops (Day 12) and i am using Imperial Juice which is my favorite yeast for NEIPA. I did a soft crash down to 48 for two days. After adding the hops the sight glass which was previously full of trub and yeast gunk was now gone and the yeast was going again...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Ideal as in successful, blown away! I brewed my first lager with using only 2 ounces of hops and blown away by how much hop character. This has led me to believe I'm over doing it. My next batch I'm shooting for these ratios below. This is one of my favorite style, but what a PITA to brew! 1oz...
