NEIPA Extract Recipe Thoughts

[jramses]

I borrowed from different recipes online. Thoughts on this one? Is there too much wheat malt? seems kinda overkill imo. Open to suggestions

You can't steep flaked grains- you'll need to add some two-row as a base malt to convert those oat and wheat flakes. Two pounds would do it. The rest looks really good to me!

Im using 3.5 gallons to boil then topping off with 2 gallons. Total amount of grain will be 3.5lbs so thats roughly 1.25 gallons of water to mash the wheat and oats. Should I then add the rest of the boil water into the kettle once the conversion is done, bring to a boil, and then add the extract and proceed from there?

how much more fermentable will this give me? I'm assuming the extra 2 pounds of 2 row will bump up my OG a bit

You'd get about 9-10 points from 2 pounds of two-row in a give gallon batch. I'd use three pounds of wheat DME instead of four, and that would be about equal to the OG you have.

How I'd do it- I'd put the grains in 1.75 gallons and hold at 45 minutes to 60 minutes at 150-154.

Then, when you lift up the bag of grains, pour about 2 gallons over that grainbag, to get to your boil volume. Add your FWH then. Bring to a boil, and add the three pound bag of the extract when it's off the heat, and proceed with your recipe.

You'll boil off about a gallon, I"d guess but it really depends on your stove and your set up.

Then, when you are done with the 60 minute boil, turn off the heat. Add the rest of the extract and stir well. And add the corn sugar at that time also. That should get you near your whirlpool temperature, so you can proceed with the whirlpool hops and then chill.

Then top off to the 5 gallons at that point.

My thoughts: I would do all pilsen DME vs the wheat DME, but either one should work. Also, I would probably remove the first wort/0 min hops and do only whirlpool/dry hop additions.

Hi, I ran across this old thread. Did you make this extract NEIPA recipe?

I am interested in making an extract NEIPA and am wondering how this one went if you made it.

I understand most of the process from reading through the recipe.

I was wondering if you pre cook the oats before adding them or if you put everything in a steeping bag (two row, and adjuncts) and steep together.

What temperature do you add the whirlpool hops? 150-160 F

Also (silly question) what is FWH?

I ended it up brewing it but I did it all grain. It came out really good but oxidized after one week in the bottle. I haven't brewed it again due to not being able to keg. Instead of extract I used two row rahr. Any extract would do tho

And fwh means first wort hop. After you mash in you add a little dose of hops as the water heats up to a boil. from my understanding it gives a smoother bitterness.

I went ahead and brewed a similar recipe to this. I ended up cobbling together information from another thread and this one. It is carbonating in the bottles and should be done in a week.

Nice. Let me know how it turns out. I know it's a good recipe but it's only as good as your equipment. Drink it asap!

I tried a bottle today (a week early!) and it has pretty good flavor and a really great hop aroma. I can tell it is oxidizing, as the color is beginning to change already.

I met some friends last night and we are going to try again by kegging it and forced carbonating.
