I'm brewing a hazy right now. I think places just need to do a better job saying if it is a NEIPA or west coast style. Generally if I don't know the beer I assume its a NEIPA now. It pretty rare to see a west coast or even more so a english style IPA.
i received muslin bags today for dry hopping.
I use both 2 and 3 piece airlocks, I prefer to use 2 piece for long term aging beers since the don't dry out on me as fast. I started brewing with 3 piece so i still use them for all my short term beers.
Brewed 14 gallons of a NEIPA, that I wanted for when some friends and my bro comes in from out of town. Going tap a brut ipa when I feel like getting back up. Probably going to start planning the next brew session.
And of course work on emptying kegs so I can refill them.
i think the problem is the c-brite is just a cleaner. Use that then use a sanitizer after it. I prefer starsan. It use to seem expensive, but a little goes a long ways. So a bottle last a long time, I think it is like 1oz in 5gallons of water and that last for a couple of months for me.
im going to guess everyone has their own way. Mine usually change each batch. It might be small changes. I have a few that I rebrew that i may adjust a little depending on what I have on hand. A few different Ipa malt bills that a change hops on. also yeast may end up changing if it is...
