I use wooden stakes with an eyelet screw on top. They've been in the ground for 3 years and still work great. I had the stakes already, and they eyelet screws were about $0.50 each.

My latest take on this recipe is a session NEIPA, and it came out really good so I thought I'd share (this was a double batch so I'm going to post percentages): 70% Pils 16% white wheat malt 12% flaked oats 2% acid malt Water profile: Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 mash pH 117.5...

Lots of good info in his latest blog post as well https://www.themadfermentationist.com/2018/02/sapwood-cellars-cheater-hops-ne-dipa.html

My preferred method of 'filtering' is to slip a hop bag from wilserbrewer over then end of my racking cane and secure it with a zip tie. I started doing this after several frustrating clogs during closed transfers (even after cold crashing) and it's been a big improvement.

Galaxy is probably the hop I use least in this style... I think any combination of Mosaic + any other fruit forward hop (Azacca, El Dorado, Amarillo, Citra, Ekuanot, any Australian hop) will be great.

Just my preference, but I think that Mosaic is the quintessential hop for the style. So Mosaic + Galaxy would be very good.

My recent recipe used 1oz each Citra and Mosaic cryo in the keg, and I thought that was pretty spot on. Here's a post from Mike Tonsmiere where he used the same amount https://www.themadfermentationist.com/2017/07/cryo-lupulin-neipa-citra-mosaic.html?m=1

Yeah, I purge 6-10 times after dropping the hop bag in. Also, I don't normally keep the lid open that long. I'm usually pretty quick about it but my social media manager (aka my wife) wanted a shot of the bag in the keg for artistic effect.

I just drop it in. Here's a video of my process https://www.instagram.com/p/BYXDXf1Byml/?taken-by=foxridgebrewery

Here's my process for keg hopping: 1. Do closed transfer as normal 2. Set keezer pressure to 35-40psi for 24 hours 3. Come back after the 24 hour burst carb and sanitize a hop bag from wilser brewer (usually just a soak in iodophor, but I do boil them ever few uses) 4. Add up to 2 oz of cryo...

If you are up for experimenting, you should try keg hopping with cryo hops. It's straight lupulin powder with all vegetal matter removed from the pellet so it's entirely different experience than keg hopping with normal pellets. They are more expensive, but due to their potency you only use...

Honestly I've never not keg hopped this style. What don't you like about keg hops? Have you keg hopped with cryo hops?

Here's my latest. Grain bill I've settled on is: 37.5% Pils 37.5% Golden Promise 15% Flaked oats 10% Wheat malt Bittering hops are between 35-40 IBUs. Post boil hopping for this batch: @ Flame Out: 1 oz each Mosaic/Citra/Galaxy @ 170F: 1 oz each Mosaic/Citra/Galaxy @ 48 Hours into...

After the keg is purged (filled with sanitizer then pushed out) I hook up the racking cane to the "OUT" post of the keg and then push the finished beer from the carboy into the keg. I pull the pressure relief so the CO2 can escape as the beer fills the keg. And yes, I do oxygenate my wort prior...

It can also take a purplish hue to it... making it go from one of the most beautiful beers you've ever seen to looking very much like dirty pond water. Here's an example of an intentionally oxidized NEIPA https://twitter.com/ScottJanish/status/901497157571792897

Is that a frosted glass? If so, that may be part of your issue. You should only serve beer in a frosted glass if you don't want to smell or taste it.

I made one over the summer with Vic Secret/Galaxy/Ella. Hopping schedule: 1oz each @ FO 1oz each @ 170F 1oz each @ 2 days into fermentation 1oz each @ keg I liked it a lot, but missed the mosaic. If I did it again I'd swap out the Ella for mosaic.

Just add my closed transfer process... I do cold crash. I give it a slow drop down to around 50F over 24 hours (I have a Brewpi so I can program in a slow ramp down). That's enough to drop most of the stuff out. I then move it to my work bench an hour or so before transfer. When transfer time...

I always leave my hops in the keg until it kicks, so you'll be fine.

That makes sense... I didn't even consider that. Thanks!
