NE IPA – Jon Finch Recipe...with a bit of Brians touch!

[Brew_DD2]

Does look very dark. Unusual to have crystal in this style. I'll bet it turns out delicious though.

 

[Leon103]

That's the Crystal malt. Not needed in a neipa

I am glad others have noticed how dark this is - I had my first bottle last night and was worried when it was the colour of bitter.

Just made the same kit from a recipe pack from MM and yea it's definitely darker than I thought it would be.

Smells great though.

Hallow m8,
cant win them all lol.
As you said smell is amazing.
Tried a 'Green' bottle the other day, for all a week carb'n up is is an amazing taste, smell.
Hop farward, not over powering mind.
The hops is grapefruit, tropical, citrus and a pleasant aroma.
After taste a bit bitter, but itll get mellow out.
Just got a new yeast to try, (£9!!!) lol.
Looking fwd to the next brew day.

Ohhh well! one of the profile characters off a bit isn't too bad.
As @Leon103 mentioned its the crystal.
Would of like the colour be spot on tbh.

On my list to try.

I brewed this kit, and it turned out really nice!
It was a strange one though in one sense. The first bottle of the day I'd think "Mmmm, that's good. Maybe I've had better commercial offerings but nonetheless I'm pleased" The, the second bottle would be "Wow! that's utterly delicious!"
I wonder if my palate needed to home in a bit on the style the first time???

The whole lot went pretty quickly I have to say!

 

[Manxnorton]

Mate,
I'm eager to make this one again...using the A38 juicy yeast aswell.
This is a style I really like.

Hi, I’m new to home brewing that’s may sound like a stupid question the 10min hop additions on this recipe are they boiled for 10 mins or 50mins as 10mins seems like not a long time. Thanks in advanced

 

[Tom Parsons]

They are boiled for only 10 mins. Hop addition timings are always give in minutes from the end of the boil.

The NEIPA style calls for hops to be added late in general. It's all about getting the aroma and flavour out while minimising bitterness.

Great read !! I’ve thought about those kits before.

Alright fellas. First time poster, joined to reply here actually.

I've currently got this recipe in the SS brew bucket in my brew fridge, started with the OG bang on target which is a good start. Just wondering when those who have done it dry hopped it, and if they would do the same next time or do it differently? And how many days did you ferment it for in total? I know the recipe says 10 days but always interested to hear if anyone did it differently.

I couldn't figure out my new ispindel in time to get it in with the yeast but have now so I was going to chuck it in at the same time as the dry hopping but reading this thread I might have to get it in there tonight if the consensus is to dry hop towards the end of the ferment.

I also found the wort to be pretty dark from the crystal malt, see attached pic. I've cloned the recipe on MM to substitute the crystal and also try it with different hops next time.

Cheers!
