I don't think this procedure can "hurt" your beer, since all oxygen introduced in this phase are consumed by the yeast. Anyway beer changes over time, it's just a matter of enjoyment.

If you have space, money, time and a true desire to simulate a microbrewery, go for 3V! Otherwise, I don't see any advantages.

Works, I did it sometimes.

Was winter time, fermented a little bit in the cold range, 12-15 C. No cold crash, no gelatin, 20 days. Probably settled down too much. The cake was near solid, no kidding.

Nottingham, for sure. Only issue with it, drops really fast and makes a solid cake. It's supposed to be a good thing, right? Except if you want to bottle it. 2 months to get carb... 🙄

Surely the headspace isn't a problem. Otherwise open fermentation would always lead to a high acetaldehyde production. Comparing to my brews, I only got acetaldehyde, fusels and some nasty phenols when added simple sugars. Temperature plays a hole in it, but it isn't your issue, since you have...

The guy in the middle... Is he adding sweetened orange juice? 😂

Maybe it's because Belgian beer appreciators don't goes to every post saying that if you don't have "that phenolic bite" in a beer, it isn't a good beer. BTW I saw many posts saying that esters and phenolics are a fault, high fermentation temperature is wrong, 4 weeks in fermentors are insane...

Heresy! Lucky for you, people aren't executed in public anymore.

No, let's argue and fight over it! 😂 My best guess is that NEIPA is generally considered a wannabe-cool trend. Recently forums have been flooded with homebrewers telling everyone things like this: you must drink your beer within a week, only kegging is acceptable, hops are only for dry hopping...

Yeah, the Haze Craze. I agree with you. 😁

I came across some articles, that would be very funny to make a post about... These are hilarious... Dear Men, Please Stop Drinking Beer. It's Making You Effeminate And Infertile Bad news for beer drinkers Put Down the Pint! How Hops Can Negatively Impact Your Testosterone Levels Hops are...

The purple rainy saison. I can think of the label... Wait a second... it would be perfect for a NEIPA! Have you ever seen their labels?!? 😂😂😂

Have you ever brewed with Voss Kveik? I tried and didn't like the outcome. Low attenuation, hazy and a orange peel taste that remembered me why we throw the peel away and eat the inside of it. BE-134 is my favourite yeast. High attenuation, good flavour profile with hints of clove, cleared all...

Maturation is a thing. That X days grain to glass race is completely nonsense. Even with Kveik. The yeast needs time to reabsorb fermentation byproducts. Diacetyl rest, remember? Even if you're going to dry hopping and kegging, just leave it for the final days. Your beer are going to be much better!
