Are you guys cold crashing your NE IPAs? Will that eliminate the haze/cloudiness that you want with this style?
Yes. And no.

Just sampled my version of this with a brewer at Lagunitas and his response was "really good". This while drinking his "Born Yesterday" which IMO is "really really good"!!
Gotta love the Hop Grenade!!

Brewed up my own weird version today.
75% Pils
25% TF Oat malt
1.058 OG
.5oz Columbus @60
1oz each Loral, Mandarina Bavaria, and Galaxy at FO & 20min whirlpool at 160F.
Wyeast 1318 forever. Looked surprisingly clear in the hydro sample.
I'll probably hit it with a bunch of Citra for a dry hop.
Try a loral/citra dry hop, those two in combination are at the top of my list, currently.
how would you describe the loral and then the loral/citra character?
Here's my characterization of loral hops.
Add citra's usual aroma to the mix and you get a very awesome citrus/floral/lemony blend. I recently had a Bale Breaker Citra Slicker Fresh Hop IPA and it's one of the top 3 IPA's I've ever had.
I see a photo but no tasting notes or other "results". How did it turn out? 5.25 oz of hops for a NE style IPA isn't much at all.

Cold crashing does not remove the haze. I usually cold crash before kegging just to settle out the lose dry hops. Haze is still plentiful.
Got this carb'd up over the weekend and had the first pour last night. Extremely happy with how it turned out.
OG: 1.067
FG: 1.015
74% 2-row
10% flaked oats
10% flaked wheat
6% table sugar
.2oz citra @60
3oz citra at flameout while chilling
3oz citra at 165 for 30 minutes
5oz citra 1st dryhop on day 4
8oz citra 2nd dryhop on day 10
1318 yeast
Started at 66 and raised to 70 by day 3
Water:
125:125 chloride to sulfate
Thanks for starting this thread braufessor. This was my first all grain batch and it definitely wouldn't have been as successful without this ongoing conversation.
Apologies for the poor lighting in the picture.

Not sure why you'd use % on the grain bill & go to solid numbers on the hops.
I actually prefer percents on grain bills.... efficiency can easily vary by 20% from one person's system to another. Percent for grain makes infinitely more sense than giving pounds of grain.
Awesome. Can't believe they let you in the Hop Grenade with a beer like this Love listening to the BN, even if they don't all buy into the NE IPA
^obviously talking about hops, chief
so can you explain how you use that logic to derive amount of hops needed, captain obvious?
Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I hope it doesnt suck

How much volumes of CO2 you recommend to this style of beer? 2.0? Or more?
