Discovering The Secrets of a Tree House Brewing Company IPA

- This week, Mike brewed up a New England Hazy IPA modeled after the Tree House Brewing Company's IPA best practices.
Tree House is one of the most sought after Hazy IPAs in the country. We are fortunate to live in very close proximity to the brewery. Lately, the brewery has been publishing its own content on UA-cam. In their videos, they discuss the brewery and its operations as well as their beers.
Recently on the channel, they've been highlighting different hops and hop flavors. They also published a great video on How to Brew a Tree House IPA. That video discusses some of the best practices that they employ to drive the juicy fruit forward hopped beers they are so well known for.
Mike decided to use the info in that video and try his hand at making one of those IPAs inspired by the brewery.
CHEERS!

After dropping daughter off in Maine for new job, we stopped somewhere in the western Boston suburbs to get gas. I searched ‘breweries near me’ and a Tree House Brewing at a golf course was a couple miles away. I asked the wife to change our travel plans. She said yes She a good woman and we have some good hazy, juicy beers.
Its essentially right off the highway coming south from Maine so glad you found it! Cheers! -Mike
I am pretty sure that they mean 15 g/l total, 5 g/l of each hop, that is in the higher range that is commonly used commercially. I have brewed this recipe myself, delicious beer!
Tree House is incredible.
It’s a solid recipe. I’ve brewed it 4 times since they posted the video. It’s been a crowd pleaser. Cheers 🍻
That's great!
I've brewed this one .. then did a simple pale ale version.. omitted the oats with some munich for color and a pale ale water profile with us05. Same hop schedule. I just downtuned the dry hops to 3.5g/l. Beautiful
Nice!
Nice! That is a recipe I've been looking forward to trying! Soon hopefully. Cheers!
This recipe is on my list to brew. Good stuff!
I've tried that recipe and it came out pretty good! I'll definitely try it again. Cheers!
Good video guys. I have made I think 8 different versions now. They have all been good. Cheers
Nice - repeatable!
Love that you used honey malt! 1-3% adds nice color and sweet-tart flavor that creates a really nice canvas upon which to layer in your fruity hop flavors!
Thanks!
Great video, I brewed this recipe in July but I used LupoMax versions of all the hops to decrease the amount needed. The soft crash for dry hopping was an interesting change.
Treehouse videos have been great. I made a Julius clone came out pretty tasty.
Thanks for the great video and thanks for the recipe
I really like to get the recipes in "IBU" rather than weights. I feel I am reproducing the recipe better this way.Also, these hazy IPA's make me realize how CHEAP I am, 12 ounces of hops, OUCH!!!
Great video. I’m about to try this recipe soon and think I will try some Cryo Hops for dry hopping to see if I can get some higher output with less material. Also wanted to share that the Apartment Brewer also did this recipe - check out his video too.
Cryo hops is a good choice!
Great video! How long do you mash at each temp in the step mash?
Nice one! I’ve been enjoying their videos too, I want to try their stout recipe, but I’m doing dark lagers lately rather than ales….
Anyway, like you, I’m a firm believer that hoppy beers need some pre-flameout hops. I don’t think you can build complexity and “layers” with just a big flameout or whirlpool addition.
The PROBLEM, imo, is that some modern hops fare very poorly in the kettle! New Zealand hops, for example, turn out awful (to my palette), if they get boiled at all. But they’re delightful as whirlpool and dry hops. So there’s definitely trial and error there. So far I think that Centennial is a very resilient hot-side hop, and Citra holds up pretty well too. I got a tip from a pro who said that Idaho 7 is great hot-side, so I’m going to try that out.
That's a great tip on the Idaho 7. Hope it works out!
great video, I have wanted to brew this since I saw Tree Houses video, can you get Tree House brew in your area? have you tried yours next theirs?
One of their location is a couple of towns over from us. Have not tasted it side by side but based on memory, Mike's beer is comparable. - Joihn
I watched this video and the Tree House video. Can you clarify something for me? Is that 15 grams/liter of EACH of the hops? My calculations show that for a 5-gallon batch that would be 10 ounces of each of the hops for a total of 30 ounces. OR, is it 15 grams/liter for the hops combined, for a total of 10 ounces of dry hops? Thanks for this, and ALL, of your videos!
It sounds to me like it meant each. That’s why I went with the lower end of the range given. It was a challenge to get that much material in there with the set up I have. That’s why I split it in two and did it as a sort of double dry hop. Cheers! -Mike
How did you deal with dry hopping and the volume of hops? Are you using a spider/strainer or bag… or going straight it? Or do you have suggestions?
I used a spider and did it in two rounds. Cold crashed and put the first round in without transferring off they yeast, despite the recommendation in the Tree House video to dry hop of the yeast. I dry hopped for a few days then racked to another keg (closed transfer) and dry hopped again. The little cylinder spider doesn't really allow for a lot of liquid to hop contact if its over filled so I went this route. Worked well. Cheers! -Mike
What temp did you dry hop at? I thought you said you cold crashed before dry hopping.
40F is my fridge temp. And I did I cold crashed prior to dry hopping. Cheers! -Mike
They're using 15g/l of hand selected hops of premium quality. Would 16-20g/l with my lower quality homebrewing hops be insane??
Worth a try!
Great video dudes, beer looks delicious. I’m going to say something controversial: tree house is overrated/ overhyped.
CONTROVERSY!
Did a head-to-head of Tree House, Alchemist, Burlington Beer, and Hill Farmstead in three blind tastings. The winner each time was Burlington Beer. But all excellent. This was two different groups and beer picked up fresh from the breweries as we all met in Maine.
