New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

[stickyfinger]

OMG, I just tried my newest version of this style and it is sooooooo good! Used a little Munich and honey malt to go with my 2 row and white wheat. The focal point is 8 oz of ekuanot with 4 mosaic, 2 galaxy and 2 Columbus for bittering. So citrusy and sweet. The taste leaves kind of a tart aftertaste like you just ate a sweet tart. 7.1% and not a hint of alcohol taste. Truly amazing beer! Cheers.

cool, i need to use up some Ekuanot

I have never even tried it before, but after tasting this, I just ordered 5 more pounds! Will be brewing a 10 gallon batch as soon as it arrives.

you are insane. 5 lbs of Ekuanot? What is the flavor profile?

edit: this says citrus, tropical fruit and resinous - sign me up!

I am finding it a lot cheaper to buy in 5 lb increments. It will get used!

 

[mintyice]

Ekuanot is the new equinox, right? Aka green pepper in a hop? Not a huge fan.

I got nothing but citrus out of it, no pepper.

His handle is braindead ...

RO water is cheap and less variable. Seems like a no brainer

Not always. RO water is pretty spendy where I live. (About a dollar a liter, and there's a limit on how much you can buy each day. Only one place I know if sells it)

Damn, we can get it at walmart. 33 cents a gallon. Quite a good deal.

 

[Cavpilot2000]

Distilled is usually only about $0.89 a gallon, occasionally cheaper. That's what I use, usually in about a 50/50 dilution with my tap water for pale styles (using BruNWater). My only beef is all the leftover plastic jugs. Even recycling them, I still don't like the waste. I wish I could refill them.

Where I live the Prime RO water is $1.05 a gallon. The cheapest is distilled at .79 a gallon. I am jealous of all you with <.50 RO water readily available.

 

[plazola86]

$3.50 for ten gallons of RO water for me. I bought two 5 gallon jugs and refill them every brew day. Have a couple left over gallons that my dog gets LOL

I can get RO water filled at Wegmans or Walmart in Canandaigua for roughly 0.35/gallon. Where are you finding your prices?

 

[jakeasaur]

What kind of containers you guys using at the self fill RO stations

 

[pshankstar]

I have 12 one gallon jugs in two boxes. I purchased Poland Springs water from BJs a while back and reuse them for my RO water needs for brewing. It came in a box with six jugs (1 gallon each).

I am near Warsaw and the Tops and Walmart don't have the RO refill stations.

I will check at the Wegmans in Geneseo.

Are they refill stations?

I use these that way I'm not carrying a bunch of 1 gallon containers.

 

[WiscoBrewer]

Do you guys regularly test the wal-mart RO water for TDS?

 

[WI_Wino]

Do you guys regularly test the wal-mart RO water for TDS?

I do. Usually in the 40-50 ppm for me.

I've seen them at a couple of Wegmans so I'm sure the one in Geneseo has a refill station too.

I found out it has to be a "Super" Walmart otherwise they won't have the refill station. Such as the one in Victor. I haven't seen the RO refill stations at at Tops.

Good luck!

I don't test it regularly..... however, I have tested it a number of times and it always checked out as "RO Level" water.

 

[Hannabrew]

What kind of containers you guys using at the self fill RO stations

I use my fermonsters. They're each 7 gallons and I have solid lids for this purpose.

My local RO provider has TDS readings of <10

i have six 3 gallon jugs.

I did this exact same recipe 3 weeks ago. Kegged it last Saturday and I must say that this is my best recipe for an NEIPA.
I went with 113 Sulfate and 171 Chloride. My next water profile will be the one from your updated post:

Ca = 100
Mg = 5
Na = 13
Sulfate = 147
Chloride = 80
Bicarbonate = 16

Look at this wonderful perfect color.

Cheers and thanks for the recipe.

How would citra - el dorado - equinox would play out in a neipa? I've done citra - amarillo and it was delicious, now I have el dorado and equinox available too so I want to test a combination of those hops.

I was about to get a pound of citra when it was cheap at Yakima Valley Hops yesterday, but I missed the boat. So I've got 1/2lb each of El Dorado and Amarillo on the way. I already have 1/2lb of Simcoe and 4oz of CTZ around.

So I'm interested in what combos to try with some mix of these as well. I'm thinking of some mix of El Dorado, Amarillo and Simcoe.

As an aside, maybe a new thread for just NEIPA hop combos in the Recipes subforum would be useful?

EDIT TO ADD: Ah, maybe this is the thread I'm looking for?

 

[dyqik]

Sorted it with great help from Brau.
We don't have RO available like you guys in the States.

Thanks guys

braindead, your tap water is pretty close to RO, and is very soft and low in minerals. There's absolutely no need for bottled water. Just treat your water for chlorine, and add CaCl and CaSO4 (gypsum) to get to the 100-150 ppm range or your targets for each of chloride and sulfate.
