So I thought I would create my own brewing thread rather than hijacking other people’s.
Today’s brew was a refined approach to developing a really good solid NEIPA recipe. One that may go into the SE Homebrew comp if it’s good enough.
The brief for this beer was a super pale, super juicy beer with allot of the style traits of a good example of this style. While also doing the absolute maximum to avoid all O2 exposure and potential oxidisation.
Grain bill was 6.1kg with simply low colour MO, Golden Naked Oats, Malted Oats & flaked wheat. Hops are Mosiac, Citra, Galaxy, Simocoe and Wa-iti.
Aimed for 25 IBU’S to match the 0.5 sulphate to chloride ratio and a 67 oC mash with only a 10 min boil addition and then a massive whirlpool for 60 mins @ 78oC.
My efficiency was WAY higher than expected and I think my boil off rate was higher than normal as well. Ended up being 6 pts higher on SG in the HS (Hoddyasaurus Fermenter) with 23 litres. I topped it up to 26 (1pt per litre works for me) to get the SG back close to target. FG should be about 6% now.
Pitched 25g of New England Dry yeast after 30 mins rehydration.
Set the pressure relief at 0.75 bar and flushed with Co2 and hopefully we should see some activity tomorrow although data sheets seem to indicate even with a pitching rate at 1g per litre it may be 36hrs until activity is seen.
I’m adding my hops at high Krausen (200 grams @ 3 days of active fermentation) I will then add another 200 grams after fermentation is complete and I’ve harvested the yeast.
I did 100 grams at whirlpool too
