GCB NEIPA Comp

[armedcor]

Had the Kinnegar Big Bunny NEIPA. It was pretty bad and had nothing that you would expect of a NEIPA. It was closer to a lowly hopped IPA. If you see it don't bother with it.

Couldn't disagree more, I found it to be a great beer and IPA

Gotta agree with Vermelho here. Managed to snag a bottle tonight and boy was it disappointing. Better than a lot of Irish IPAs but that isn't saying much. Almost zero hop taste. I've got a second bottle which I'll try tomorrow but so far not impressed.

My reference before this was Little Fawn which had about 2 times the hop flavour. Did you get any tropical falvours or aromas off it? Wondering is it the batch?

[Paul B]

Yeah loads of hops, I thought it was great. Maybe there is a bad batch going around

Bump; With HB shops getting in Vermont 051 and Burlington, time to start planning guys for a brew in the coming weeks

Glad I did a trial run on this style. I had nothing but hassle with it. Tried to do a pressure transfer from the fermenter to the keg but the disconnect kept getting clogged with hop matter. Ended up just pumping the beer directly into the keg causing lots of foam. Oxidisation is a characteristic for the style right???

[Leann ull]

Why pressure transfer Mick?
I only ever put a big co2 cover in keg, first 1-200ml out of pipe work gets chucked and then rest into keg under a blanket of co2

[mick02]

I want to minimize the amount of oxygen that gets drawn into the fermenter by the liquid that is flowing out. Maybe overkill but I'm trying to limit the exposure to o2

I see what your up to alright just telling how lazy men do it
So a question have you purged with co2 the air in the out pipe before you fill?
I had a load of keg jumpers and blow off disconnects at one point now I just purge liquid out with a tap and burp way over what's required, co2 is cheap!

This turned out lovely in the end. Has a bit of a kick to it but no more than an eight degrees IPA.

Way out of style though - 4.9%, 100 theoretical ibus.

I had O'Hara's "NEIPA" - 51st State last night. Couldn't be further from an example of the style. Again, avoid at all costs. Brewdog/Cloudwater still the best example I've had. As in, it conforms best to the style descriptors.

I too tried the O'Hara's last night. Without looking at the label, it comes across as an innocuous English IPA.

So I'm planning my beer out,should I use Whirlfloc or not?

[fishjam45 (Colin)]

God no!

[BrewDorg]

I used whirfloc powder in my first attempt. Still had plenty of haze, even after 2 weeks at keg temperatures. Skipped gelatin though of course.

[DEMPSEY]

God no!

aah why did ye tell them

Now watch all the judges running to the loo from too much yeast in the day
