The Captain!! Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Looks pretty good from the out set. What’s the predicted OG, FG? Edited April 17, 2019 by The Captain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 What temp are you mashing TRT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Guessing 66-67 mash temp? I prefer my Ipas, pa’s fairly dry. But with no crystal I think that’s a good mix. Bit of extra bitterness will have lay well with the extra body. Your over the 1:1 IBU/GU factor however I think the body will help. I think that you’ll find the right kind of mixture between the bitterness and the fruity pine of that hop combo. Looks good mate. Id personally double that dry hop, ok up to 150g as a west coast should be prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 For that malt grist if it is @ 66-67 I would have expected a slightly lower FG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaS1 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 What about a five minute and whirlpool addition? Don't West Coast IPAs usually have at least some crystal? The range seems to be 2-6%, of light to medium crystal. Cheers, Christina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealthing691 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 no crystal for this one is mashing as we speak .The temp is 67C On 4/18/2019 at 11:29 PM, The Captain!! said: Guessing 66-67 mash temp?

The hopping notes at that FG will be very noticeable I would think. Let us know what it's like once you've got it on the pour. Cheers, Lusty.

therealthing691 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 well here is some pictures quite impressed with clarity a nice citrusy taste but I thought aroma would be stronger but a nice and crisp drink . All in all a good balanced beer with hop forwardness as it should I think . A Neipa this weekend with some where between 300g and 380g for 16L decisions 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
