Doing a Neipa and want to use a combo of three or four of these Vic secret, mosaic, enigma, and ella just want help with hop schedule.. Can use different hop for the bittering
 
60 min
12g magnum

5min
10g mosaic
10g enigma
10g ella
10g Vic secret

Wirlpool 70°c for 30min
10g mosaic
10g enigma
10g ella
10g Vic secret

Dry hop 3days into fermentation for 5 days
15g mosaic
15g enigma
15g ella
15g Vic secret

Either dry hop in secondary for 3 days or just add hops to keg
15g mosaic
15g enigma
15g ella
15g Vic secret


This is what I came up with any input or advice much appreciated thanks
 
Not sure why you would dry hop 3 days into fermentation? Is that typical of the style? I would have thought the aroma would be driven off with the CO2 at that early stage.
 
You probably won't need the Magnum, what's the overall IBUs.

Yes, dry hopping during active fermentation is characteristic of style, and when using the right yeast produces different aromas than conventionally dry hopping.

Reading about NEIPAs one or two things I took on board:

Keep the bittering low, 60 minute addition still helpful but not significant.

Late hops (if you want) but for mine I waited until flame out and added first flavour/aroma hops with 30 minute hop stand

Several people add first dry hops half way through the fermentation for 3-4 days

Second dry hops after fermenting finished fo 4- 6 days.

Mine is at the second dry hop stage, nice and fruity and just turned temp down to 4C and I am thinking of giving it a boost with hop tea just before kegging in a cornie in 2-3 days.

went with that hop schedule I had there brewed it Thursday just added first dry hop this evening going to leave it for five days should I move to secondary them or wait two week and then move and dry hop second time.. Why have you dropped the temperature for the second dry hop... Also i added the magnum for bittering giving 48ibu
 
Do people adjust up the calculated IBU for the boil hops when doing a whirlpool/steep? The IBU in BeerSmith (mobile) for a 20min steep is about the same as for a 5 min boil. The calculator doesn't change the IBU contribution from the boil hops when I add the steep hops, so if the 5 min hops are staying in during the steep I reckon I should double their IBUs, do folk agree?

I am no expert but perhaps the all the alpha acid has been extracted?

Logically I would think it hasn't, because otherwise boiling for 60 minutes versus 5 minutes wouldn't produce more bitterness. I do wonder however if going from boiling vigorously to not has a negative impact on extraction.
