Citra/Galaxy/Mosaic NE IPA

[cooper]

Thinking of brewing this one soon.

BIAB with the BrewBoss, water adjusted to pH of 5.5.

5 lbs Golden Promise
5 lbs Briess 2-row
1 lbs Vienna (not sure if Vienna is needed but I have surplus)
1 lbs Flaked Oats
1 lbs Flaked Wheat
12 oz Briess Carapils

Recirculating Mash with 1 tbsp CaCl2
148 for 30 mins
154 for 40 mins
168 for 10 mins

.5 oz Magnum - FWH (still haven't decided if this is needed, surplus issues again)
1 oz each of Citra/Galaxy/Mosaic - Flameout
Chill to 160 and add 1 oz each of Citra/Galaxy/Mosaic and whirlpool for 30 mins
Chill to pitching temp, and ferment with Wyeast 1272 at 68F allowing it to rise as it finishes.

Dry hop on days 3-7 with 1 oz each of Citra/Galaxy/Mosaic and hopefully keg on day 15 as long as it's finished; shooting for a low FG.

I still need to run this through BeerSmith to see how it looks but this is the idea so far.

I'll let you guys know how she turns out.

You'll be super pleased with G/M/C combo. I tried a few other variations but none gave the results as this. Something about this combo is amazing, but individually not quite the same.

I used a 1:2 SO4 to Cl ratio and I think it was 67 So4 to 136 Cl. Perfect.

I'm attaching a link that uses a grain bill you may wish to review.

Good luck. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=568046

Looks good to me. I'd leave the Vienna to add to the comlexity of the malt profile. But remove the Oats and Wheat additions. Increase your CL ppm and reduce your So4 achieve the roundness, silky and hazy look of the NEIPA. Keep your PH under 5.3 as well with this style. But thats just my style.

I like to Hop 1oz per gal for any IPA

Thanks! I've seen a couple of different recipes on here that use C/G/M in this fashion so there must be something to it. Hopefully this one turns out just as amazing.

Yup, I need to run it through the spreadsheet to make sure I get around 175-200 ppm Chloride as that seems to be the sweet spot.

I think the oats and wheat are fine. They're not uncommon in these kinds of recipes, and they seem to be to good effect.

I'm not sure about the carapils, though. Especially if you want it dry. It's going to have plenty of head formation proteins if you use the flaked grains.

Also, why not do all of the hop additions in the hop stand? You might have to up the bittering charge a little to compensate, but that's what I'd do.

I used oats and wheat in mine to give the rich haziness and mouthfeel you want in a "juicy" IPA. I used a touch of honey malt as well. Didn't use carapils in mine either.

 

[cooper]

Good point about the carapils. I was looking for a dextrin malt but it may not be needed in this one with the flaked oats and wheat.

So this one finished at 1.007, a little low for a NEIPA but it tasted fantastic. Lots of citrus character. Just added the final round of dry hops and will keg it on Friday or Saturday. I'll add a pic when I get it into the glass.

Sounds like you hit a home run! I have tried other yeasts but 1318 finishes around 1.012 consistently for me so I am used to the balance that FG brings forward.

That's a great combo. I like to work some Columbus into the whirlpool and/or late boil additions to give it a bit more character. I find that Columbus really blends well with the CMG triad.

Oh, and I add flaked oats and flaked wheat to all my NEIPAs (for my personal recipes). I love what it brings to the table. I also do the 50/50 GP/2 row blend as well. This looks an awful lot like what I brew most of the time from a malt bill perspective.

chiming in just to follow thread. Want to see how this ends up

 

[griffi]

Following Braufessor's recipe thread, I used some honey malt and a little wheat and oats. The only change I plan for the next one is use a different yeast -- I used dry English 007 and it was good but dried it out a bit too much. It's been kegged now for a few months but it's still great. The haziness has faded a bit but it's still like an awesome dry hopped APA.

Thanks! I definitely want to try this one again with 1318 and compare.

Great looking beer! I'm attempting a very similar partial mash brew right now (this is only my second brew day) and I'm hoping by batch #5 I'll be converted to AG. I can't wait to try this recipe, thanks for sharing!

Did you adjust the recipe from the original post at all?

A little bit. I mashed at 152 instead of doing the step mash. I think I'd also like to use 1318 for the yeast and keep the final gravity around 1.014 and it would be even better.
