Hey Everyone,
i tried another batch of NEIPA and am getting pretty disappointing results with my hop aroma / flavors.
Recipe for 5 gal batch
12 lbs golden promise
2 lbs white wheat
2 lbs flaked oats
2 lbs malted oats
Mashed @154F
boiled for 60 minutes
whirlpool at 175F for 25 minutes
4oz Galaxy
2oz amarillo
2oz Taiheke
1 pack Escarpent Laerdal Kviek
fermented at 90F until airlock activity stopped (3 days)
and then drop temp down to 72F to dry hop (5 days)
Dry Hop addition
2oz Amarillo
2oz Taiheke
OG 1.075 FG 1.014
while the body of the beer came out great and it certainly has juicy characteristics, its just they are so very mild.
does anyone else struggle with this style?
i know my hop basket is probably holding me back, during whirlpool i hose the hops in the basket until it almost fills and the splash the outside of the basket while it drains.
as for dry hop, i have one of those 6" "salt shakers" the hops sunk straight to the bottom when i added them and they did swell to fill basket.
any recommendations out there?
thanks.
