will ensure you do not extract too much bitterness. Employ a cool whirlpool ( at around 140-150F ) with lots of hops. Regarding hop additions: do not use hops sooner than the last 15 minutes of the boil. You can cold crash a bit, if you fancy that.
Then dry hop again 3-4 days later, leave the hops for 3-4 days more and keg/bottle. Conan is also a fine choice, so are some other yeast strains from other yeast companies.ĭry hop in the first 24-48 hours of active fermentation. Use an English yeast strain: I for one like 1318. Mash high, like 154-155F for 60 minutes and use a grainbill, which has a bit of flaked oats ( oat malt could also be an option ) and flaked barley ( or flaked wheat, if you prefer that ) and some sort of light ( 10-15 L ) crystal malt. I would still go 130-150 ppm Cl and 70-80 ppm sulfate on the water.
When you raise the Cl higher than say 50 ppm, and the sulfate is also high, you can risk experiencing a minerally taste in your beer, but I think it should not be the case of only 100 ppm Cl and 50 ppm sulfate.Īs long as you are sure your actual water profile matches that, you have calculated, I would try to improve the overall mouthfeel of the beer. I started with RO water and added 0.44 g epsom salt per gal (7 Grams for 60L) and 0.82 calcium chloride per gal (13 Grams for 60L) and obtained this profile:Īs it tastes strange, I'm thinking about correcting it with 0.38 G Gypsum per Gal, 0.13 G of table salt per Gal and 0.13 G more of calcium chloride per Gal to reach this profile:Īny thougts on what I'm planing to do? Does it make sense or should I be a bit more conservative? I could also go with just a bit of gypsum to raise the sulfate level (and the calcium level but I've read it has little effect on taste) and forget about the sodium and the extra calcium chloride.
Even though this beer is by far the fruitiest I ever brewed, there is a disturbing taste/mouthfeel to it which I already experienced in some NEIPA commercial examples. I brewed my first NEIPA starting with RO water and the result doesn't live up to my expectations.
