Morning All,
Now that I am having more success with NEIPA, I was considering trying a double version of it.
First question: My NEIPA comes out around 4.5%. 60% higher would give me 7.2% so is it a simple case of upping my grain bill by 60%, or should I actually be adding corn sugar as a fermentable instead?
Second question: DIPA are generally more bitter than single IPA. More hops in the boil. I guess I don't want to do that for an NEIPA as it is a low bitterness brew, so how do I combat the addition of more grain in the malt bill? I dont want to end up with an overly malty brew. Just an amplified NEIPA, maybe slightly thicker / sweeter like a double would give.
Thoughts welcome! I will probably brew it onto my current NEIPA yeast cake, in just over a week.
Thanks
