NEIPA oxidation

[Braindead]

Tried a new water profile and works a treat.
Still a touch of hops burn and needs to balance out a little.
Have to say though there should be a lot more juicy smell that what there is.
17g a litre dry hop I was expecting an in your face Tsunami. Its still better than most commercial Hazy Janes : )
Im putting it down to the suppliers of the hops, Ill not name them here but I shall not be buying from them again.

I think I over did the out of fermenter volume and I’m low on proteins and “thickness” from the oats and wheat. I’ve got the hop aroma and flavour. And I’m lacking mouthfeel. But it would appear I’ve proven allot of processes and profile. I just need to back off on the volume a bit [emoji6]

I’m carrying out a meticulous time series analysis on mine. Yes, that means I’m drinking one every day.

It could definitely use more dry hops, but the bitterness is in the right place, I’m happy with the mouthfeel and if drunk quickly before oxidation really takes hold, I’ve produced something I enjoy. It wouldn’t win awards but compared to paying a fiver a can for NEIPA I’ll take it! They turn around so quickly too, this can be a regular brew in between other things.

Have to agree with you there. Had a few £5 Cloudwater cans lately that i've not been blown away by.
Northern Monk and Verdant I just paid £6 a can for, but I think they are producing the best beers in the UK right now.
My latest RYE Neipa was pricy at £42, but for that I get 40 pints. No brainer really.
Just hope the hop burn settles down in a few days.

Agree with you on Verdant, I had ‘Putty’ recently and it was amazing.

Here's my NEIPA/APA hybrid brew.
The mouthfeel is ok but i don't think the idea really works (or I haven't pulled it off very well) the colour is a bit darker than I'd like and it really didn't need the bittering addition.
I'm gonna compare a bottle to the kegged beer at the w/e to see if there's any difference in the colour.

The colours spot on, unlike my photography skills...

We should all have a mass NEIPA bottle swap

Now talking. Maybe we should organise a special one of NEIPA comp?

That was the 1st thing I thought after my last post! - it would be good for everyone to be able to try each others beers though rather than a single judge.
Maybe something like a scaled down version of the SMASHoff would work where everyone anonomously sends & receives a bottle to/from everyone else & gives feedback on all the beers (they do it via a hub so you can send/receive all teh bottles at once)
Any takers?

 

[Ajhutch]

Sounds like a great plan!

Good idea, only prob is guys who have a Blichmann bear gun will avoid oxidisation

Great thread. I'm currently putting a closed system together which I'm hoping will improve things further.

I recently brewed one with London Fog (link below) that came out really well. Only problem is, I chilled the keg twice (for a few hours each time), and the haze has dropped out!!?! Anyone any tipd to keep it longer? I've read about increasing pectin (thru apples), and also DH at high krausen...
Anyone got a repeatable technique they use that works?

to quote he-man "I have the power" err...... colour and aroma just not the taste :unsure:

for haze a yeast you can drink so you can swirl the bottom of the bottle and pour in for the haze :thumb:

Although I do have a beer gun, I wasn't thinking about anything serious - more of a good opportunity to try a few different versions of a style that's hard to find commercial examples of.
This could help us all dial in a hard to nail style??

My latest effort is tasting good but I pulled a load of air in whilst kegging, won't be using that auto syphon again.

View attachment 12772 My Rye Neipa. Only brewed last Tuesday. Looking good and tasting better.
FU LHBS for not getting anymore cryo hops

That's the best looking homebrew NEIPA I've seen yet. Hope it tastes great when it's conditioned.

 

[Braindead]

Thanks. 2 days in and its mellowing already.
Also there was zero porridge oats in it or wheat malt which I usually add to my NEIPA.
Also went for a totally different water profile which worked a treat.

Raw wheat is used in some hefeweizens to create a permanent haze.
