What was the carbonation and bottling method? Was it bottled conditioned? Were the bottles flushed with Co2?
I also wouldn't use 500g of hops unless I'd force carbonated and eliminated oxygen pickup in bottling.

Sorry just counted and my NEIPA had 325g not 300g.
I made a 1bbl batch for the Redhill beer festival last year with 16.5g per litre, I was going to add the same again to a dry hop but due to selling the brewery had to cask it early and to soon to dry hop in cask.

Actually more like 30 quid on hops plus grain still only a pound a pint. I can live with that still better than paying ã5 for a can of cloudwater dipa.
On the subject of hops fading fast. I'll just have to drink it all fast then. At least that's why at I'll be able to tell SWMBO.
Your right,Ive been thinking about that as well, I should make the best beer I can afford for once and it will still be cheaper than buying a decent beer. ã40 for 40 pints of a belter of a beer rather than ã2.50 for a bottle of Mosaic Pale Ale from M&S

I put 600g in the 23l Double NEIPA I just kegged the other day, 200g in at flameout, 400g total dry hop, 3:2:1 ratio of Galaxy:Citra:Columbus... It is pretty great, ended up kegging 17l of beer after the losses, I have no regrets.
I buy my hops in bulk, so this ended up being ã18 of hops... Another ã7 or so in grains... So less than 80p a pint, which ain't bad considering what Cloudwater sell their cans for! Plus, this will not be drunk in pints...

I wouldn't worry about it - although I quite enjoy a hoppy IPA I've just finished drinking a honey ale (Greg Hughes recipe) that was really very nice, much better than any commercial honey ale I've ever had - and it had a grand total of 15g of hops in 23L.
Which would have made it a really cheap brew except that the honey cost six quid...

Just done first dry hop during fermentation in my NEIPA, that's 285g total so far. One more dry hop to go will take it up to around 400g.
Mainly Citra and Mosaic with additional Amarillo just in dry hop. Can't decide whether to use more Amarillo in 2nd dry hop or something with a little different character but don't want to mess it up at this stage. Will probably stick with current hops and decide if it needs something different in version 2.

I don't remember the exact amount, but on paper I had close to 200 IBUs in a 1.075 IPA.

Tried 600g and the beer was terrible, probably my fault though. I have found keg hopping to be the best hit so far and really worth doing if you have not. Even small amounts are very effective.

What was the size of the batch? How long did it go before you tried it?
The one I got close to 200 IBUs was undrinkable at first; after 9 months in secondary it was pretty good.

Nice but still quite bitter, although it was considerably more IBUs than the base recipe due to the random selection of hops used. I've since redone it with first gold hops and chevalier malt, which gives a fuller, sweeter body for the hops and more balanced beer. Well worth trying.
I'm pretty sure I've had that Tetley IPA brewed by someone else at a homebrew club and it was really nice.
was it drinkable?

I think it was 23l. Most was dry hop with no bittering if I remember. I just dropped 100g into a keg and it's still extremely bitter. Have to leave it until the particles drop. It was very tasty until I did that now I will have to wait.

Worth noting that the Shellhammer lab suggest that the optimum for Cascade is 4-8g/l - there's no gain for adding more but you do start to introduce undesirable flavours - but that figure may vary for other varieties.

Cloudwater routinely add 24g/l to eg their DIPAs (compared to ~8g/l in the early DIPAs), and did a 48g/l collaboration with Other Half - but they are eg using centrifugation to clean up the beers afterwards.

15 grams/liter for a IIPA, @90IBU and 9%. Now in the shed, already carbed but needs another week or so before I get a taste.
