BREW DAY
Cleaned and filled water Thurs pm 19th May 2022
Adjusted water - added 15.5g Gypsum (for sulphates), 25g calcium chloride for chlorides
Boiler on 8am Fri 20th May 2022. 26.5L at 70c strike
Hit temp 8:40am, down to 69c
Took 30 mins to fill with grain. 90min boil started at 9:10am
Checked 9:30am // 9:50am // 10:10am // 10:30am
Up to 77c at 10:40am for 10min sparge starting at 10:45am and ending 10:55pm
Bag out and drained, up to 99c.
Pre-boil vol: 23L (targeting 24L)
Boil start: 11:25am
45mins 20g CTZ
10mins 30g Nugget
Flameout: 20g Galaxy
Boil finish: 12:25pm
Post-boil vol: 21.5L
Immersion chiller 12:30pm with Inkbird
By 12:50pm temp 47c. By 1:39 down to 24c and into FZ
Target and actual pitching temp: 23c. Room temp: 16c.
Pitched c2pm Fri 20th May
Spunding valve OPEN
(overnight temps forecast 12/13c outside)
Target 1.065 OG to deliver 1.015 FG (corrected) and target ABV of 6.6% but OG reading 1.071 so at 72% efficiency FG new target 1.016 and ABV 7.2%
FZ Vol: 19.8L
Target FG reading (corrected)
Notes - can already see colour is quite dark from too much honey malt.
FERMENTATION
Underway within 12 hours. Closed spunding after 36 hours ferment. Pressure rose to c.10PSI. Fermentation temp typically 20-21c in an ambient 16/17c
Day 3 (morning) depressured and dryhopped with 80g galaxy and 37g CTZ (to use up)
Four days dry hop and moved coldcrash 26th May at 2pm. PSI up just around 15, was still rising slightly.
Tasted but too bitter/sediment to gauge accurately. Certainly not too sweet from the honey malt cock-up... Uncorrected FG is 1.036 or 1.040 - couldn't tell.
Corrected FG at 1.036 is: 1.016 giving ABV of 7.2% - as expected.

TASTING
Kegged 27th May - 1 week from brew day. Force carbed at 20PSI.
Colour is bright yellow, some haze. Nose is juicy nectarines. Palate is dry bitterness, some chalkiness, taste the 7.2% alcohol. Not as sweet as feared. Needs a little time to round out.

Notes: New England Style IPA
Notes:
NE-IPA will be judged according to the 21B Specialty IPA guidelines as a distinct Type of Specialty IPA.
As with other Types, Entrant must specify a Strength as session, standard, or double. If unspecified, the entry will be judged as standard strength. The ABV ranges for strengths are the same as for other Specialty IPA’s.
Entrant may specify hop varieties used and/or method of use (e.g. bittering, whirlpool, dry hop), if Entrant feels this information is critical to appreciating the beer. Supplying this information is entirely optional, and doing so may affect judging positively or negatively depending on the judges’ perception of the expected varietal or process-related characteristics.
Impression
A refreshing hop-driven pale ale showcasing fresh, juicy, fruity hop flavors and aromas. Moderate bitterness and low malt flavors only play a supporting role, preserving approachable drinkability. Deceptively soft, creamy mouthfeel gives way to a crisp, dry finish characteristic of all American IPA’s. Singularly hazy but still attractive to those who appreciate an intense hop experience.
Aroma
High to intense fresh hop aromas, emphasizing fruity notes reminiscent of tropical fruits, stone fruits, berries, melons, and citrus fruits. Piney, resinous, or spicy hop aromas should complement the fruity character. The best examples are not grassy or vegetal. Yeast-derived aromas include low to moderate esters that complement the hoppy aromas, and are often also characteristic of tropical and stone fruits. Low to medium-low fresh grainy or crackery malt aromas provide background notes, with little to no caramel or toast. May have a low bready aroma when wheat or other adjunct grains are used. No diacetyl. Stronger versions may exhibit an alcohol note, but should not be solventy or hot.
Appearance
Pale straw to orange in color. Typically quite hazy to nearly opaque–suggesting orange juice–however some beers might clarify as they age, leaving only faint haze. Fluffy and persistent white head, often depositing intricate lacing on the glass.
Flavor
As with aroma, medium-high to intense fresh hop flavors should be in the forefront, with emphasis on tropical fruits, stone fruits, berries, melons, and citrus fruits. Piney, resinous, earthy, and spicy hop flavors should complement the fruity flavors, and grassy or vegetal hop character is absent. Bitterness may be medium-low to medium-high, and should be smooth and never sharp or harsh. Malt flavor is low to medium-low and is typically fresh and grainy, crackery, or bready, with medium-low to very low perceptible sweetness. Overall balance is bitter, but less so than standard American IPA. Low to moderate yeast-derived fruity flavors should complement the hops. Finish should be dry to medium-dry, with long-lingering fruity hop flavors.
Mouthfeel
Soft, smooth mouthfeel with medium-light to medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Low ratios of sulfate to chloride ions can give a distinctly juicy, mouth-watering sensation, while high-protein adjuncts and suspended yeast may provide some creaminess. The finish should be smooth and clean and never astringent. Stronger versions may exhibit some alcoholic warmth, but the strength should be well-hidden.
Comments
NE-IPA’s are best consumed fresh, with delicate hop aromas and flavors falling off quickly, and high amounts of suspended solids potentially causing poor stability. Most classic examples straddle the line between standard and double IPA’s, but with lower bitterness and well-hidden alcohol they have a deceptive drinkability more like standard IPA’s. Bitterness is balanced by a soft, creamy mouthfeel rather than malt sweetness. Hazy appearance may be caused by suspended yeast, hop polyphenols, proteins from adjunct grains, or–rarely–unconverted starches added to the boil. Some of these sources of haze will settle out over time, so a somewhat older beer may be only slightly hazy while a fresh version could be totally opaque. Haziness approaching opacity is a signature of the NE-IPA style, but results from ingredients and processes chosen to provide an intensely enjoyable hop experience. Appearance is not an end in itself for NE-IPA. Most characteristics scale fairly linearly with strength, however hop aromas are often nearly as intense in session-strength NE-IPA’s as in double-strength versions, and even session NE-IPA’s may have a relatively creamy mouthfeel.
Ingredients
Pale or 2-row base malt, typically North American or British, provides a blank canvas for these hop-driven ales. Little to no “character” malts such as kilned or crystal malts are used, however large portions of malted or unmalted wheat, oats, or other adjunct grains may be employed to provide body and creaminess. Stronger versions may include simple sugars to boost fermentability. Hop varieties often include new products of breeding programs that were selected for unique and exotic flavors and aromas and high essential oils. Hop bills may be complex, or may emphasize varietal characteristics of a single cultivar. The bulk of hopping comes later in the brewing process, especially at flameout/whirlpool with protracted hop stands, and dry hopping. First wort hops or bittering charges are small or even nonexistent, while some brewers prefer hop extracts for bittering. Ale yeast strains may be American or English, but produce more esters and are less flocculent than the cleaner yeasts often used for standard American IPA’s. Water profiles often have much lower sulfate-to-chloride ratios than other IPA’s, providing a juicy, mouthwatering impression.
Comparison
Compared to standard American IPA’s, NE-IPA’s emphasize hop flavor and aroma to the near exclusion of all else. Flavors and aromas tend to be fruity and exotic, with less focus on the piney and resinous character that may be found in standard American IPA’s. While the balance is still bitter, overall bitterness tends to be lower, and never has the sharpness of some classic American IPA’s. Malty flavors also take a secondary role with little to no caramel or toast. Yeast character is often more present than in standard American IPA, with esters complementing the fruity hop notes. Color tends to be a bit lighter, and any level of haze is acceptable, though bright clarity is not typical. Mouthfeel is softer, fuller, and creamier than other American ale styles.
