New England IPA

Wow that's a lot of oats, I went 75% Maris Otter, 10% each crystal and wheat, 5% oats.

Both djs are bubbling away nicely now.

Going for the hazy look!

Gave this a taste last night and wow it's intense! Only attenuated down to 1.020 so 5%, nice coppery hue and hazy, when it's lit up it glows orange like the photos I've seen of the style. Didn't get round to dry hopping it so the aroma isn't as strong as it probably could be but the flavour isn't an issue. Actually really weird beer, never tasted one like it before but it tastes like the packs of hops smell so I guess that's a success.

Might still improve a bit as it's only had 2 weeks in the bottle, it's actually too strongly flavoured for my wife who is the IPA lover in the house but the hops will mellow with a bit more time.

I bottled an attempt at an NEIPA on Xmas eve. Looks like mud but smells like a hop bomb! Looking forward to opening a 'tester' on NYE

1 week on and the hops are much more refined and more in balance with the rest of the beer, smooth bitterness and a lot of flavour. Probably plenty to improve upon but a successful first test.

I recently made the following;

4.535kg Two row
0.455kg Flaked Corn
0.340kg Carafoam
0.115kg Acidulated malt
0.115kg Wheat

40g Magnum at 60 mins
55g Simcoe at 0 mins
55g Galaxy at 0 mins

85g Galaxy dry hop at three days during active fermentation (apparently this is the done thing for NE IPAs)
85g Simcoe dry hop at 7 days

Fermented with White labs WLP013 London Ale Yeast.

Tastes great but is a bit murky (hopefully something I'll fix next time I brew it). Would also probably reduce the bittering hops to maybe 30g next time.
