always wanted to try that but worried i'd lose hops in blowoff or clog my tube
I have a 6.5 gal fermenter, batch size into it was 5.5 gal so had plenty of head room, so I wasn't too worried. I highly recommend it if you have a big enough fermenter.

They are not one and done.... but not always available either. I managed to find some at this site a couple weeks ago....

I had e-mailed Bootleg and it sounded like they might be releasing it again at the end of this month maybe??
I already have three different yeast strains in my fridge but this one sounds like I need to give it a try. Brau keep us posted on the final verdict on this one.
What, my opinion isn't good enough?
I've actually read your bloq twice about your beer! This yeast sounds like something I want to always keep on hand. I'm currently working with a strain produced by an HBT member in Finland who combined/mated (not sure about the science) conan and wlp644 together.

There is something I'm trying to figure out here. I'm hoping someone can clarify. In the water profile above, it lists Sulfate: 59 and Chloride: 121 for the mashing profile. But if you look at the finished water profile, it's Sulfate: 29, Chloride: 55.
I thought that for this style, the Sulfate and Chloride numbers were more important in the finished beer. Is this not true? Seems like these numbers are pretty low for the finished beer.
I'm going to attempt a partial-mash NE IPA based on what I have on hand.

actual finished water *Adjustment*. it's telling you how much ppm of minerals you need to add based on the desired water profile you selected on line 5. none of the desired profiles really apply to NEIPA, so i just ignore it.
my only question is why are you waiting 4 days before adding the first dry hops? All 3 times I have made NEIPA in the last few months, using 1318, my gravity was at or under 1.020 by 48 hrs, so I have just adopted the habit of throwing in the first dry hops 2 days after pitching the yeast, and then the 2nd addition 4 days later (total of 6 days after pitching).
Any other successful combinations that add some dank qualities with the fruity hops?
I've never attempted this style before, so thank you for the feeback.
Assuming that I'm tossing in the 2nd dry hop addition 6 days after pitching yeast, should I add a 3rd dry hop addition, or just let the 2 additions sit another 8 days or so before bottling?
im sure this has been answered somewhere in here but there is too many pages to go through. Are you guys who do 2 dry hops leaving the first one in the whole time or do you remove it when you do the second?
Thanks. I was planning on using the same hop schedule. FO, steep and two dry hop additions. Any thoughts on ratio of Columbus to other hops
I leave both in. I just throw the pellets in with no hop sock or anything to contain them. I try to cold crash for ~48 hours or more before kegging to help drop particulates out.
Doesn't the cold crash kill some of the "haze" that NEIPAs are known for?
Also, fair to assume that you're not using Whirlfloc/Irish Moss?
Unless you're drinking your beer at room temp, you're cold crashing it at one time or another.
Brewed this exactly as posted but had to sub for Galaxy as it was not available. Used Pacifica in its place. Best beer I've brewed to date. Honestly, it's better than any ipa I can find locally.
Anybody try a version of this with some dank hops? I'm planning my next batch and was thinking of trying this with Columbus and Galaxy. Any thoughts on how this combination might turn out?

I ventured into slightly dank territory with Citra/Mosaic/Simcoe/Columbus 2:2:1:1 and it came out great. Just a little different from the original. I would crank up the dank more and maybe try Citra/El Dorado/Columbus 1:1:1 sometime, or possibly throw some apollo in there.
I agree - I always dump the first couple ounces or so on the first pour of the night. Beer that has been sitting in the lines for a day+ is sub par in my opinion also. After the first pour of the night, subsequent pours I let it roll, but I always dispose of that first blast that has been sitting in the lines.
I was considering an addition of Apollo on my next batch as well. I found an ounce in the freezer, left over from an off the topper kit last year. Figured this beer would be a good place to use it.

Instead of going by X days, you could just do it as soon as the krausen falls. My understanding is that you'd still have a couple points of gravity to go at that point.

Columbus and Galaxy will get you there
X331 and any fruity hop will do it
Columbus, Citra and Mosaic
Almost all of my NEIPAS have some level of dankness.
I usually use Columbus or apollo in a lot of NEIPAs I've made. Mostly small charge at 60 and 10, 5, flameout/hopstand, and only a tiny bit in dry hop because it will tend to dominate (especially with keg hopping). But I find it adds a different level of flavor to the beer that I like, IMO just straight fruit juice can get a bit boring after 5-6 batches.
On a side note, I started adding a 10 and 5 min additions back into my hop schedule after about a year of just adding flameout and hop stand at 170*, I feel like it's adds more actual hop flavor to the overall finish of the beer. Anyone else experience that?
