A slightly dialled back (ABV) version of the Dream Crusher NEIPA, trying out Strata hops instead of Amarillo for hopefully a tropical pina colada sort of vibe. (First version got a 15 g Citra keg hop, should try 15 g Strata in this one)
Batch # 1 - 12/7/20 - (Eff.: 59%, Att.: 59%, ABV: 6.7%)
- Pre-boil volume - 26 L (Using mash paddle measure)
- Mash vol.: 31.5 L, Pre-boil vol.: 26 L, Batch vol.: 21 L
OG: 1060 (refract.) 1057 (Tilt)
Ingredients:
Joe White Raw Wheat
Ferm temp. (C): 18.5 - 20, Lallemand Brewing New England American East Coast Ale Yeast (x2 re-hydrated in 200 ml water with a hint of Fermaid AT)
18/7/20 - SG: 1009 (Tilt), dry hopped.
21/7/20 - SG: 1008 (Tilt), cold crashed.
23/7/20 - Kegged and carbed at 30 psi for 3 min, keg hopped with 15g of Strata hops in a hop sock. Left on 30 psi over night.
3/8/20 - Keg tap leaked and lost about 6 L to the bottom of the keezer. The hop sock the keg hops were in has leaked a bit and given the head a slight green tinge, nothing crazy but try a tighter weave one.
Notes from Dream Crusher NEIPA (Original beer)
- Really vigorous boil bought batch vol down to 21 L, back off boil next time.
