Notes: Brewed 2/10/14. Blocked the false bottom on accident in the mash tun due to float so I had to transfer it to the kettle and then back to the tun. Topped off with 3/4 of a gallon of water to hit 151F. pH was 5.2 (estimated at 5.4). Hit 85% kettle efficiency. Efficiency was a it lower than usual might have been from sparging too fast. Runoff was also quite cloudy so not sure if that had something to do with it. False bottom got clogged a couple times when draining into the carboy. Possibly too much pellet hops and hot/cold break. Temp on day one of fermentation is about 64F. 2/12/14 temp has been between 65-67F. Added 3/4 of a pound of corn sugar in about a cup of water to boost up the OG. 2/13/14 temps were about 68/69F. 2/14/14 took out of the swamp bath and brew is sitting at about 71F. Dry hopped on 2/24/14 when all signs of fermentation were done. 3/5/14 biofined with 2 tbls. Cold crashed 3/7/14. Racked to keg 3/9/14. Pretty tasty IPA that has a bit of that catty thing going on. Wondering if I repeat this if I should switch all citra additions to 0min. Took 2nd place in the category in the Bridging the Gap competition. |

Notes: First initial taste, slight more citrus and not as dry finish as 2X out of the bottle. But a damn good beer!! This keg went quick. I have a small amount of frozen wet hops and this is the first beer I put a hop bag in the keg. Flavor slowly built over a week in the keg with a pleasant fresh flavor to the beer. I am saving my fresh hops from now on to finish my IPAs!! |

Notes: Ingredients, Part 1:
7 x 96 ounce bottles (5.25 gallons) Wegmans 100% Apple Juice, pasteurized, only vitamin C added
2 lbs. Dextrose
Nottingham Yeast
Ingredients, Part 2
5 campden tablets (Optional, see notes)
5 – 12 oz. cans of Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate, thawed to room temperature
12 oz. Caramel Syrup
Recipe for Caramel Syrup:
2 cups of water
2 cups of light brown sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Combine in a saucepan and bring to a boil. At boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes (until volume is reduced to half). Let cool & bottle for future use.
Part 1 (Started 1/7/12):
Opened 1 bottle of apple juice, got a gravity reading of 1.050. Temp is 64 degrees.
In a 6 gallon carboy, pour in bottles 1 and 2 of apple juice.
Open bottles 3 and 4 of apple juice. Pour half of each bottle into carboy. Add 1 pound dextrose per bottle to the remaining amount of apple juice in bottles 3 and 4. Shake bottles to mix sugar and apple juice. Pour bottles 3 and 4 into carboy.
Pour bottles 4, 5, and 6 of apple juice into carboy. Take another sample for OG, got a reading of 1.064. Open Nottingham yeast, pour into carboy. Agitate carboy to mix in yeast. Pour bottle 7 of apple juice into carboy.
Part 2 (In about 14 days):
Check for target FG of 1.010 to 1.015
Rack cider into a 5 gallon carboy.
OPTION: If you want a still cider, add 5 crushed Campden tablets to the cider at this time. If you want a carbonated cider, skip this optional step.
Make the Caramel Syrup and wait 24 hours before proceeding.
After 24 hours, siphon cider into your bottling bucket. Add the Caramel Syrup and the 5 cans of apple juice concentrate while siphoning to aid in mixing. Bottle the cider and enjoy.
If you are carbing in the bottle, be aware that this will carb up fast (4 - 5 days) due to all the sugar. I highly recommend that you fill and cap a plastic pop or beer bottle first, and use that as a guide to tell you when it will be time to Stovetop Pasteurize the batch.

THE BOIL
Boil time (mins): 60
Additions and timing:
3g Magnum (12% AA) @ First Wort Hops
Yeast-Vit @ 15minutes (not included)
80 degree 30 min whirlpool/hopstand = 30g Galaxy & 60g Citra
Secondary additions and timing:
Post ferment dry hop = 120g Galaxy T90’s & 180g Citra T90’s (16gpl dry hop)
Dry hop rouse and crash to zero. Keep hop contact time to less than 72 hours if possible.
Yeast: Lallemand Verdant IPA (not included)
Fermentation temperature/steps: pitch at 18 and let rise to 19 and hold. Free rise to 22 for D rest once gravity is at
about 1.030. The dry yeast version rages! Expect a massive krausen and potentially higher than anticipated
attenuation on generation 1.
With sharks we push Chloride up to around 230ppm, we leave Sulphate at base mains level (10ppm), we elevate
Sodium to around 50ppm. The Sodium Chloride is added to the boil and the Calcium Chloride to the mash. By doing
this we create a very soft mouthfeel but without elevating Calcium levels above 100ppm.
Other tips for success with a NEIPA would be to monitor you PH’s. Mash should be 5.2-5.3 at 20 degrees C. Pre-boil
5-5.1, post boil 4.9-5.05, sparge 5.5-6, post ferment 4.3, post dry hop 4.5-4.8 |

Notes: Mash low, after mashing and sparging briefly raise temp to pasteurise wort. Cool to about 40 C
Before adding lactobacillus sp. lower pH to 4.5;
Keep bacteria in the kettle until pH drops to 3.4
Then boil normally with hops schedule.
Ferment
Add 900g of pureed blackcurrant to secondary for 7 days. Use hop bag for berries.
update 15/12/2018
Bottled, took pH and it came to 3.25 which is very sour. Tastes sour and dry.
update 02/12/2019
Opened a bottle after 2 weeks conditioning. The sourness is much better and rounder. Galaxy complements berries very well. Very nice easy-drinking beer. |
