I had the pleasure of spending the last two months down in Georgia and now feel the state is the underdog of craft beer. Wild Leap and Scofflaw have made me a believer in NEIPA and there aren't many available overseas in my current location.
I may contact the brewery to ask for tips but is anyone familiar with these brews?
Wild Leap - Chance IPA, Rockweave Double IPA, ETA Transcontinental IPA, and Alpha Abstraction Series (specifically Vol. 8).
Any guesses on the yeast? I feel like they must be using the same yeast on all their IPA's that gives it the specific taste I find present in each one. and lots of oats, whirlpooling, and dry hopping.
Also looking for something similar to Scofflaw - Basement IPA.
Closest thing to a NEIPA I've brewed is a DDH Pseudo Sue clone I did with Coastal Haze Ale yeast but I still cold crashed and fined with gelatin. Leaving those steps out next time and dry hopping earlier (during active fermentation, day 2).
I took great care to limit oxygen exposure during fermentation (while dry hopping) and after (pressure transfer to purged keg), I still feel like I'm not yielding the same intense flavors from dry hopping. Not sure if craft brewers are doing pressurized fermentation or if it's just a difference in ingredients and fresh hop pellets.
Clearly I need more experience and it's not all recipe but if anyone else is a fan, let's talk Wild Leap / Scofflaw. I need more beer like this in my life.
