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
