    NEIPA Hops?

    Vic Secret, Enigma, Riwaka, Idaho 7, Nectaron.... probably more. Nelson should absolutely be on the list. TG is putting out a lot of killer IPA's with nelson in the bill. Edit: also columbus makes a killer supporting hop.

    To Helles with this

    A good starting place would be: 95/5 Pilsner/Carahell or 90/10 Pilsner/Munich Use German malts only. Weyermann Barke Pilsner is definitely my go to. Melanoidin and victory don’t belong in traditional helles. Target 1.046-1.048 Dont bother with decoction, but do mash for fermentability. If you...

    How did the Germans brew Roggenbiers without Rice Hulls?

    Beta glucan and/or protein rests.

    Can someone explain the lack of head retention in alot of modern craft?

    Sometimes it’s related to lipid heavy adjuncts (oats, coffee, cacao, etc...). But usually it’s just poor brewing process.

    Naturally carbing a keg. Co2 volumes question.

    That's true, but you can tell based on headspace pressure/head on the pour ABOUT how carbonated it is. After trying it a few times, you will get a feel for how far along it is. I would usually be able to put it in the fridge on day 3-4.

    Naturally carbing a keg. Co2 volumes question.

    When using CBC-1, you can either pull a sample to check the gravity (be very careful using picnic taps, because the PSI at room temp may crack the valve), or very gently test the PRV valve to see how much pressure has built up in the keg. Or just pull a glass and taste.

    Best NEIPA hop combos

    I would probably go heavier with citra late in the boil (if you do boil additions) and whirlpool and then go heavier on the nelson in the dry hop. Maybe 2:1 Citra in the whirlpool and 2:1 nelson in the dry hop.

    Best NEIPA hop combos

    I had a Citra/Nelson double from WeldWerks/Casey (it was a collab) called Transmountain Diversion. It was phenomenal. One of the best IPA's I've ever had. That combo gets my vote. I also brewed an El Dorado/Nelson session NEIPA (3.2%abv) and that combo worked nicely as well.

    Request for recipe help... TG Pompeii clone or approximation?

    And as far as yeast goes, definitely use S04. It helps if you can wake it up in a starter before pitching--it gets rid of some of the weird tartness.

    Request for recipe help... TG Pompeii clone or approximation?

    Using a Sue clone recipe and swapping in mosaic will be a good start I think. Pompeii tends to be a bit clearer on average. I’m not sure if that is related to hop lots that they select, or if that is related to process. It’s also slightly lower abv since they moved everything to the new brewery...

    Last few pints in keg taste much different

    I would google a guide to proper keg purging. There are several methods of doing it (opening prv, sanitizer purging, etc...), each with varying effect, but you would be surprised how many purge cycles it takes to get the O2 levels down in the keg to "shelf stable" levels. I agree that it is...

    Last few pints in keg taste much different

    In that case, yes you are likely dealing with something else. It could be oxidation in the keg from oxygen left in the headspace after kegging/purging, it could be impure Co2, or it could be ingress through the lines. It could be something completely different. How long has the beer been on tap?

    Last few pints in keg taste much different

    I think your assessment is right on. You mentioned you had a small beer rather than a pint. In a pint, the line beer would be diluted with enough fresh beer from the keg so you may not notice it. In a small glass, you will have proportionately more line beer and are more likely to notice the...
