Awesome series man. I’m a huge fan of Imperial yeast for NEIPA’s as well. Would love the recipe for this delicious looking beer if you’re willing to share.
I enjoyed the series. I have learned a lot from focusing on a style and recipe. Also, a focus on avoiding oxidation issues with NEIPA beers has definitely made me a better brewer. You have a pretty nice setup with much higher end equipment than I have...so I chuckle a little each time I see you hand crank your mill. ;)
This was so cool. Really enjoyed seeing you dial in every aspect and really love seeing the tasting in the same video as the brewing! Can't wait for the next style :)
0:48 bet you had a fun day with those lol. I've really been enjoying these videos a lot lately, this beer sounds incredibly good! Great idea with the co-pitch too! This series has been fantastic and it is awesome to see you reach a final product thats the result of all the hard work, trial and error. Congrats!! Whats the next style on the list?
Hahaha thanks man! It’s been a blast! I sent out a poll a couple weeks ago and it looks like Saison is the next deep dive which couldn’t be more perfect for the warmer weather ahead. Stoked! I’ve been eyeing one of your recipes for next season too! I’ll hit you up on Instagram soon 🍻
@@HopsANDgnarly absolutely! Would love to do a collab at some point too. Looking forward to a saison series! I just kegged a brett saison and gonna let it sit for like 3 months
I love your content and I’m glad you keep it coming, I’m on a brewing hiatus at the moment but when I get back at it I’m going to try making your hazy. Thanks for doing what you do!!
@HopsANDgnarly Love the content! Attempting to brew this beer on Sunday. Looking back 2 years, would you recommend the same fermentation/ hopping schedule? I’m thinking about doing first dry hop around the 24 hour fermentation mark and then again on day 3 (this is mostly to work around my travel schedule), but I’m hoping this schedule gives time for the yeast to do it’s job and prevent hop creep. From there I’ll keep an eye on the gravity using my Tilt and soft crash / keg once I reach desired FG. I pretty much modeled my whole brew/ferm setup after yours so curious to see your thoughts on this plan! Is there anything I’m not considering?
Home winemaker and newb homebrewer here - when we pitch multiple yeasts in wine to get character from both, we typically pitch them in 2 different fermentation vessels. The thought process (based on reading, not any personal scientific observation) is that one yeast strain will take over and dominate the other, suppressing its characteristics. Might be worth asking your partner at Imperial - I'd be curious what they have to say.
That's a good point! I think it depends on the type of yeast being used. Imperial actually sells blends of yeasts very similar to what I pitched in this video. Imperial Dry Hop A24 for example is a blend of Barbarian and another strain they call Citrus. Blending on the cold side vs in the fermenter would be an interesting experiment!
Love watching your testing process! What do you do for work? Your setup is amazing and your knowledge is extensive. I'd love to see the passion you have from a master brewer at a brewery!
@@HopsANDgnarly cool man! Sounds like an interesting career. I work in Digital Marketing but oh boy being a brewmaster one day would be the ultimate dream!
Love the hop dropper/blowoff setup on the anvil. I’m looking to do something similar with mine. All parts from Amazon? Any issues with hops getting stuck on a smaller butterfly? Love the channel!
What a journey man!! Loved this series so much... Couple questions for you. What's with the temp probe in your blow off liquid, think it accurately represents your beer temp? Also dry hopping after cold crash is awesome, do you find hop flavor and aroma stick around more in the finished product?
Hey thanks man! Yea I need to work on some thermowells but the sanitizer helps simulate the wort temp when I increase or decrease the temp. I should do a side by side to test the cold hop but I feel like it's softer and more fresh smelling
The thought that went into this brew and the video work are truly amazing. Both you guys really inspire me to push my brewing journey even further! Will I be able to find this recipe on your site at some point?
@@HopsANDgnarly Perfect ty sir!! Love your channel BTW! Keep up the good work! I'd be interested in a similar experiment with Lagers since I love a good Pilsner.
I'm trying to build this recipe in brewfather cause it sounds awesome! You mentioned 150ppm sulphate and 200ppm chloride. BF calculates 6.4g calcium chloride, 4.4g epsom salt, and 4.4g gypsum. Does that sound right? Love this series and I can't wait to brew this. Cheers bro
Ah gotcha! It’s all about the process man. This would be the exact same with an Anvil Foundry and a carboy. I think that’d be a pretty rad experiment actually
Pretty dope setup for brewing! I was just wondering since I'm looking to switch to electric brewing.. what is your mash efficiency when recirculating and not sparging it? Thanks and I really enjoy your channel I've basically bingewatched all your brewing session ahah
Hey thanks!! I’m usually in the 60s on the Anvil and I build my recipes assuming 65% usually unless it’s a big beer the I assume less. When your whole grain bill is less than 10 lbs I find efficiency doesn’t matter very much
Hey guys. Great stuff. I’m starting with RO water. Tried to hit you chloride to sulphate in Brewfather. What exact target profile are you looking for ?
I don’t think it’ll make or break your beer but basically cold and short dry hopping gives you more of the fruity good stuff like linalool and less vegetal grassy stuff
I would be curious to know what your FG was. I've had dozens of beers from Tree House, Tired Hands, etc and I can't say that I've had an NEIPA that I would describe as dry.
Same for sure but I’ve definitely had refreshing hazies. These things finish around 1.018-1.020 so my point was I like to balance that with the water profile just a bit more than the conventional recommendation of a 2:1 chloride to sulfate ratio. Thanks for watching 🍻
Hey Dan! Hope you are well! Downloaded your recipe and attempted it on my Anvil 5 gal system...not sure what happened but I was a whole 10 points off my gravity. Mashed at 152 for 75 min...And the grain absorption must have been crazy because post mash I was slightly below 6 gallons (starting volume was 7.5)....should I have done a protein rest since the grain bill had some oats? Not sure if flaked oats absorb a ton. Never used oats before 🤷🏼♀️ still stoked to taste the beer! Never done a hazy IPA before. OG ended up at 1061 so it should turn out good at 6% ABV
I wasn’t doing a protein rest but I suppose you could. Do you normally hit 68% efficiency? Did you do the mash out? 10 points is a lot to be missing. Could be a combo of things
@@HopsANDgnarly yea did the mash out...I guess on average I hit around 64%...full discretion I was sloppy on brew day and spilled a little during recirculating and trying to squeeze the grain to salvage all the oz I could to make up for the massive absorption rate (grain basket dramatically slipped around that fancy rim and dunked back into the wort). Still can’t believe the grains absorbed as much water as they did. Even with the spills I had I don’t know where the half gallon just disappeared. And I squeezed the crap out of the grains to get stuff back. Gonna try the recipe again in the near future and see how a protein rest may help with the oats
you mentioned 22g idaho7, 39g citra eldorado rakau whirlpool with 41g each at both dry hops. but your recipe on your site shows 12g idaho7, 21g citra eldorado rakau whirlpool with 24g each at dry hops. do you remember which amounts are correct? thanks
I scaled the recipe for a 5 gallon batch so definitely go with the amount shown on the recipe not the vid. I think in the vid I was making something strange like 8 gallons
I had some ferrules welded on by a local welder but honestly they didn’t do the best job. I also found a weldless tri clamp bulkhead on Amazon at one point but they’ve been out of stock for a while now. Working on finding a supply and I’ll let everyone know when I find some so stay tuned

I've come back to this series multiple times. You add your second round of dry hops at cold crash temp? What's the benefit of that?
I don’t think it’ll make or break your beer but basically cold and short dry hopping gives you more of the fruity good stuff like linalool and less vegetal grassy stuff

Hello, in the recipe, it says "dry hop on day 3 and day 8." Does this mean 24g on day 3 and 24g on day 8, or is it divided?
I'm betting it's 24 g on day 3 and another 24g on day 8. Hazy IPA has a ton of hops in the dry hop stage, so that is probably the way you want to go.

Thanks for the heads up! That must be why downloads have slowed down so much! I’ll work on it
What is the reason for only 30 min boil?
Mostly because there isn’t a bittering hop addition and we don’t need that darker melanoidin malt flavor
What was the PH does the ph really matter? I have been told 5.2
Yea it’s important during the mash I usually shoot for 5.3 and carbonation probably pushes it lower
plate chiller - sanitisation? hmm, please explain

I got burnt out on ipas. now all i want is a red or an amber
