Salutations!


I'm brewing a NEIPA soon, and have decided to go w/ Omega Yeast Tropical IPA. I'm going to use FastPitch as a started 3 days before brew day, cold crashing it the day before, then dumping the wort, and just using the slurry on brew day.

I plan to primary ferment at 80F w/ a blow-off cane (will be using the Ss BrewTech FTSs2 system). On day 3, I have 2 dry-hop additions, and then again at the start of secondary fermentation. My question is, should I adjust my fermentation temp after primary fermentation has completed, or should I keep it at 80F until secondary fermentation is completed and I'm ready to cold-crash?


Thanks!

What do you mean secondary fermentation? Unless your adding more fermentables post your initial fermentation, i.e. fruit, there will be no secondary fermentation.

For a NEIPA you should never switch to a secondary FV. They are extremely susceptible to oxidation. Just let it finish in your primary FV and then keg or bottle it from there.

Now for the temp that seems really high unless it’s a special yeast. Not familiar with the strain. But if that’s the temp it calls for then yes after active fermentation is over let it go back down to 70-72 for your dryhops and to clean up
 
Pardon... I don't plan to move to another vessel. I'm leaving my dry hopping in the same conical fermenter and will just dump the trub from the trub valve.

Thanks for the post-fermentation temp!
