Thanks everyone. I completely agree with it will be beer . I should learn to enjoy the experimental factor. It’s tough spending g the time and not getting the result you wanted. this was my first brew (~30) using Lallamand. It started bubbling within 6 hours. Thanks again.

Hi all I brewed a NEIPA just now and pitched the wrong yeast. Figure it won’t be too bad but want to know your thoughts. It’s the avg perfect recipe on this forum and I had Lallamand lalbrew American style yeast but accidentally used the Lallamand London ale yeast. I think it’s an equivalent...

Hi Everyone I've done a number of NEIPA's and want to try a batch without the typical Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic hop combo. I have read about a few new hops and Bru-1 and Idaho 7 caught my attention. I'm thinking of trying this recipe below. Please let me know your thoughts? Are the ratio's...

Hi Everyone I love the Avg perfect NEIPA recipe on this forum and have experimented with it over multiple brews. I have tried many different permutations of hops and grain bills. What are your thoughts on creating a second version of this through user experiences? I have had success with the...

Thanks for all the ideas and comments. I think you are right in trying one thing at a time. It could be the extract. I may try adding none to my next batch. I can drink a 6% beer all night but it can’t be sweet. Perhaps I find an entirely different stout recipe. Lol

I mashed at 154F

Thanks Craigerr. I should have mentioned i increased everything by 15% except the lactose and cocoa and boiled fo5 30 minutes before starting the the 60 min hop schedule. Got an O.G of 1.079 and an FG of 1.026. I soaked the vanilla in bourbon instead of vodka. Thanks again.

Hi Guys I brewed this and thought it was great. My issue is that it is not sessionable and a little too sweet. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/180328/bill-s-double-chocolate-milk-stout I'd like to know your thoughts on using half of the cocoa and lactose or removing it all...

Thanks. I assumed everyone knew this recipe. I updated my original post with the link.

Hi Everyone I have brewed the Avg Perfect NEIPA a few times and want to modify it based on Hop availability. What are your thoughts on substituting Galaxy with Amarillo or El Dorado? I would like to keep the recipe intact and simply substitute the one hop. Thoughts...

I received the ingredient list for my favorite beer from my favorite local craft brewery. Its a Chai Latte stout. Can you help piece together a proper ingredient profile/recipe from this list. I don't know what ratios to use. Thanks for the email and appreciation for our Spice Odyssey!! We...

Thanks. I'll try this on my next batch.

Hi. I mashed this one at 152F. SIngle infusion and single (batch) sprage.

Interesting. My neighbour (who got me into this great hobby) said my dip tube needs to be cut. I did not filter when transferring and there is probably too much material at the bottom of the keg. I'm planning a keg to keg transfer under CO2 pressure and will make sure the tube is 1" off the...

I always thought you should raise the grain bed to 170. That is why i sparge with hotter water.

Thanks man. after draining the first runnings I sparged with 185 degree water. The mash did not get above 170. I have a ton of hop matter in the beer, I'm thinking of doing a keg to keg transfer. I emailed the town for a water analysis from the spring (chalk lake springs in Ontario). I will...

Thanks for the feedback HVM and GroupW. I should have mentioned I used natural spring water from a local spring. The mash ph was 5.6. I do have an RO system. It will take for ever to get 10 gallons. Maybe I should split the bill next time.

hi all I am relatively new to brewing; completed 5 all grain batches. It has been fun and results have been good. I just tried the Avg Perfect New England NEIPA recipe from this website and want to improve on this style. I love this type of IPA but I seem to have issues with hop burn. My first...

Thanks everyone. The beer is done and fermenting. .... My first batch!!! It smelled great. Cant wait to keg it.

Hi Everyone I am about to do my first all grain brew. First brew for that matter. I am all set and ready to go but have a silly question regarding the dry hop process. The recipe I have states dry hop - 7 days. Curious to know if this means i add the dry hops on day 7 of fermentation or do...
