fwiw, most neipa recipes heavily bias hop additions to whirlpooling and dry hopping, with just a modest early addition to establish the desired bitterness. Also, Citra can be problematic as a 60 minute addition as it can turn catty...

Ok.

fwiw, I use CTZ or Chinook at T60 for bittering my neipas, and hold back the aromatics 'til 5 or 10 minutes left.
Then I whirlpool a ton of hops and dry hop another ton.
My neipas recipes use 14~15 ounces per 10 gallon batch...

Cheers!

I set out trying to find a way to save money and found a source to confirm It.

You do realize that you literally just admitted to confirmation bias, right?

I don't brew NEPAs, but I'm not sure how you can expect to get the in-your-face aroma and intense hop flavor characteristic of the style without intentionally underutilizing the alpha acids.

Right, not all whirlpools are equal. For neipas I chill the wort to below 170°F before introducing the whirlpool hops so as to not convey much bittering as well. That's different from whirlpooling a wcipa where a higher temperature can be used as higher IBUs are part of the style...

Cheers!

What did I miss?!?!

Anticipated v actual results of hop steeps at different temperatures (200F, 170F) for WCIPAs & NEIPAs.
