Couple of grainfathers... one for sparge water?
Through the glass lid the color looks lovely!
Curious why you have a pound of dextrose in the recipe, seems counterintuitive to the mouthfeel you would be looking for in NEIPA.

I had a buddy who was getting out of the hobby. He had a V1 G30 and something happened with the controller or something and they sent him a V3 free so when I bought his stuff, he gave me both. Use one for spare water. Works out nice.
Added the sugar because I never seem to get the higher abv numbers I want. Maybe it’s limitations with the system and grain amount. Did it for a little extra kick.

Definitely a limitation of the system, I have a Brewzilla, basically the same machine really. I use DME to bring up ABV, it does so without "thinning" out the beer.
What did you say?

You heard me right!
I never thought I’d see Craigerr ‘complain’ about too much hops…

Who said I was complaining?
I did. In the message you quoted.
Didn't you notice who wrote that? Is everything OK??
(OK, I'll stop now.)

I’ll be brewing a hazy today inspired by Q2. Never brewed a hazy before, and this recipe gave me the push I needed. My biggest change is lowering the ABV to something more sessionable, simply because I don’t manage myself well with 8%’ers in kegs.

This is one of the primary benefits/intents of the quarterly brews; to brew something you wouldn't ordinary brew. I plan to brew this, just not sure when. Life (work, family events, a bad cold) have messed up my brewing schedule.I’ll be brewing a hazy today inspired by Q2. Never brewed a hazy before, and this recipe gave me the push I needed.

Gotta get more people brewing these quarterly recipes. Its fun to see different brewers approach these recipe from different angles. Makes for some interesting discussion.
I agree. I’m guilty of not brewing, but I’m consuming less. I need to start making smaller batches I guess.
