New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

[plazola86]

Is everybody using the same grain bill as post 1418? Has anyone come up with the grain bill or addition to get that super bright orange color? I know taste is what everyone is going for first, appearance is second but those glowing orange beers look delicious!

I use 2-3 lb of Vienna malt and it imparts a nice light amber/orange tint to an otherwise pale yellow brew.

Then again, I put Vienna in almost everything anymore.

In fact I'm brewing it as we speak, so later this afternoon I will try to remember to take a pic and post it (it will be raw wort, not finished beer, but at least it'll give an idea).

That looks great. Did you use the original recipe or the updated recipe from post #1418?

I'm brewing this today. Im going with the original recipe but forgot to add the white wheat and used flaked wheat instead on accident. We shall see how it comes out. Shouldn't be too much of a difference I would think.

If this recipe comes out as good as I'm hoping, I'm gonna brew a keg of it to bring on my bros bachelor party in Reno, and then another batch for his wedding to put in cans, with custom labels I made from their wedding photos. That's the plan anyhow..lol

I used the recipe from post 1418 with 100% maris otter as base malt. I'm pretty sure you wouldnt even see the diffence from white yeast in side by side taste anyway! Good luck with your brew!

Wanted to do this recipe with Denali eureka and Simcoe any suggestions on amounts?

 

[BrewinSoldier]

Just brewed this tonight in my grainfather. Had a pretty hard time with the grainbill and then my black filter end cap fell off for the first time ever. I think I had too much flaked grain for the grainfather. Can't wait till I get my 3 vessel system over to the new house. I still think it may of turned out good though but we shall see.

How do you like the 100% Mosaic? I have considered doing that, but just never pulled the trigger on it.

 

[EndOfLine]

Anyone have any experience with Idaho 7 "hop hash?" Something like 34% alpha acids.... lol

I picked up two ounces of it. Thinking about them in a NE IPA, but the stuff scares me. Thinking one ounces at flame out ,and another for dry hopping.

I love mosaic. It also tastes great as a cuvee with my all citra batch

I have a batch going with it right now. Using a 1/2 oz addition of the Idaho 7 hash at both dry hops, along with citra, mosaic, and galaxy. Transferred from primary to dry hop keg today, smells killer. Will have more information in about a week once I go into the serving keg and chill/carb.

 

[millerbp]

Brewed the update original recipe but didn't transfer to secondary; both dry hop additions went into the primary. I used S04 and had excellent results F.G. 1.014.

Great aroma and great taste!

Thanks for sharing the recipe Braufessor!

i was thinking of a similar strategy for mine tomorrow in terms of CTZ at flameout and then dryhop with denali and eureka.

Thanks. I used the original recipe.

eureka Denali and simcoe
1272 yeast planning on dry hop with same hops

 

[stickyfinger]

tell us what denali is like.

I already used the Denali in a single-hop beer. I can tell you it is like pure pineapple. It is like a made a beer with pineapple juice.

 

[Jmash]

I have an ounce of Denali that I would like to throw in the second dry hopping. Should I just add it with the galaxy/mosaic/citra or remove one of those?

I'm sure it will blend fine with those. Layer a touch of pineapple onto the classic Braufessor hop combo.

Trying my first attempt to this style this weekend. I have a funny feeling it will be the first of many! I'll be using Azacca, El Dorada, and Citra. 2 gen of Conan for yeast.

I'm about to keg and 2nd dry hop an ipa with these same hops. I didn't really follow this recipe, but I'm shooting for a tropical, juicy NE IPA. I used WLP 095 Burlington ale yeast for the first time, after not finding much info on the yeast. I overshot the gravity a little (1.074), and the yeast went all the way to 1.012, so it's gonna be a little bigger than it should be.

I LOVE WLP095! It's a great yeast. It ferments very well, non-finicky, and leaves a very round, smooth flavor in the beer. I've used it in various IPAs and also in porters and stouts. It would make a great house yeast. It is not as crisp and bitter in the perception compared with the Chico strain.

Nice! Just brewed mine yesterday. Used
.5 horizon for FWH.
2 oz El Doroado FO
1 oz Azzaca FO
1 oz Citra FO
Using 2 oz each to dry hop
Came in at 1.056. This is the first time I did a small bettering and FO only hop schedule. Had a really smooth bitterness but no real hop flavor or aroma. Hoping the dry hops will make up for that!

I did an oz Magnum at 60.
1 oz each of the citra, azacca, and el dorado at 10 minutes.
1 oz each of the citra, azacca, and el dorado for whirlpool.
1 oz each of the citra, azacca, and el dorado for dry hop on day 3 of primary fermentation.
And will be doing another oz of each of the 3 in the keg while carbonating getting ready for a NE Super Bowl.

tasted this recipe with amarillo citra and mosaic and I am in love. This keg will be kicked by next week especially with the superbowl. I think I'll do an all mosaic and all citra batch this weekend. I also want to increase my ABV.
Should I up everything proportionally or just the malted grains?

Awesome. If I make it bigger, I basically just scale up all of the grains in the same percentages (give or take round numbers).

Second batch based on this recipe is tasting great. Needed a little time to get past the bite/tingle from the heavy dry hop (you could see fine hop particles in the first several glasses, even after transferring through a 300 micron filter on the dip tube of the dry hop keg).

Brewed 1/7 and kegged 1/21. Columbus for bittering, the remaining four additions were 1.5 oz Citra and 1.5 oz Mosaic. OG of 1.070 and FG of 1.012, for ~7.8%.

there always a touch of additional sugar to increase abv, just bare in mind it might also dry it out a little more.

I added honey to my last one (Azacca, Citra, Galaxy). I figured I'm adding honey malt, so why not honey (1 lb)? OG 1.074
Still in primary, so I'll let you know how it turns out if anybody is interested.

 

[christyle]

Well my first attempt was a hit, kicking the keg in about 6 hours at a party full of bud light drinkers. Thank you very much for the recipe Braufessor!! This will be a mainstay in my rotation now, with some variation. Possibly the best beer I've made.
