Pink or bright red

Same beer, hop schedule etc just different yeast
I'll tell you later but 029 is also now on to do list thanks to oblivious

If these beers become popular the flatulence problems in craft bars is going to get out of hand.

Is that an NEIPA thing, didn't know! tbh my missus refuses to come to the RDS as it is, "full of weirdy beardies farting"

Just with all that yeast in suspension.

As for 029 I love it, have a nice hoppy pale ale in the keggerator that used it. My worry in a NEIPA is that its going to drop clear after a little while.

[Leann ull]

NEIPA shouldn't have a lot of yeast in suspension tho yeah, the murk comes from wheat protein and suspended hop particulate?   

[pob]

The Yeast Bay's Vermont Ale is a Med-Low flocculating yeast, so I'd say that's causing alot of that character, along with crazy levels of the hop oils & matter.

[Qs]

I think the yeast is a contributing factor in some of daddys of the style and people are just working at things to create similar appearance. I could be way off but thats the impression I get. Especially when people are adding flour and the like.

[Leann ull]

Assuming that's what I was using

[Leann ull]

So only tip I will give before the Nationals is that 007 in the middle is not a great yeast for this style in my experience, ripped everything out and left bitterness unlike its brother to the right.
Small sample(he won't let me take pints) is FJs semi carbed on the left.
It's a very strong light source and would show everything btw

They all taste good so far and fully carbed will be great.



Now does anybody know how to fish out 250g of leaf out of a carboy

What category do they go into in the nationals? Speciality IPA?

What category do they go into in the nationals? Speciality IPA?

Speciality IPA yeah, might be a good idea to get judging guidelines prepared for the style as well.

[molc]

Pretty sure Richard had some ready before as it was getting popular at Capital.

On a side note, Craft Beer & Brewing have a feature on NEIPA this month.

Speciality IPA yeah, might be a good idea to get judging guidelines prepared for the style as well.

I'd be interested in seeing those guidelines if they were available?

[fishjam45 (Colin)]

Took a bit longer to condition due to the higher ABV but it's ready now.


Really happy with how this turned out.

[Leann ull]

Fecking thing tastes like a 3% er goddammit
