Idaho 7

[anteater8]

Hi! For a hop forward Neipa, what hop schedule would you propose using citra. Mosaic and idaho 7?

many thanks!

I would do something like this personally...

4 oz Citra whirlpool
2 oz Mosaic whirlpool
4 oz Citra dry hop
2 oz Mosaic dry hop
2 oz Idaho 7 dry hop

I know others, including Scott Janish, recommend Idaho 7 in the whirlpool but that didn't work great for me the one time I tried it. I would go heavier on the Citra to brighten things up since Idaho 7 is a little intense, and only use a bit of Idaho 7 in the dry hop so it doesn't overwhelm.

You're probably better off on the main NEIPA thread, there's a fair few people using that kind of combo there.

Will definitely have a look as well here. Many thanks!

Idaho7 has the highest amount of compounds that will survive fermentation, Mosaic is second... Citra is 4th.

Personally I’d go 3:2:1 I7:Mo:Cit in the WP. I actually like a bit of Citra at the end of the boil too.

DH i’d flip the ratio. Lighter on the I7, heavier on the Citra.

I did a SMaSH APA with Idaho 7 and 2-row. Used the hops for bittering, aroma and dry hopping. Turned out great.

Do you still have the recipe?

Scott Janish is a fan :

Interesting idea that it could be just a rebrand of Idaho Chinook.

Chinook is seven letters, so just maybe the logic behind the '7' for Idaho 7?

What is "pre-dry hopping"?

I understand each word, and how to make beer, but not sure about the message. As in late boil or whirlpool?

The official story is that it was the seventh sample that Jackson Farms sent to Sierra Nevada (and they came back with - can you do 5 acres next year?), see this :

Yep.
