So you don't plan on testing out the 'biotransformation' hopping method where they add the first dry hop 2-3 days into fermentation? I've read lots on it and still can't say I think it adds all that much though many feel differently.
Can't go wrong with those hops!

I did on my first time I brewed this style. The second time I dry hopped as the notes in the above recipe and I think got better results. This has been in the keg since late June and though not in its prime it's still tasty and cloudy.

[Inkleg]

Brewed this last Saturday and Wyeast 1318 has been going like gang busters.
I started to raise the temp on day 4 into fermentation. From 68 to 70 and to 72 today. Plan to start dropping the temp to about 50 over the next few days to drop some yeast and then allow to come back up some before a 6oz two day dry hop, crash again and keg at a total of 2 weeks since brew day.
The final recipe is not what's listed above as I deleted the Amarillo completely as I thought it would get lost in the other hops so I upped the Simcoe and Cascade. The grain bill changed some too as I went with what I had on hand. Everything is written on my BeerSmith print out so good or bad it came be replicated or avoided.

Do you always cold crash, then raise temps back up to dry hop? I'm not sure I realized that or am aware of anybody else doing that?

I get it in concept - drop out the yeast and other particulates so that the hop compounds don't bind to them and drop out, but I'm wondering if you actually see better results than just dry hopping and cold crashing at the end? I guess re-warming wouldn't put the stuff back into suspension so it sounds valid.

That's exactly how I've brewed my Sloop Juice Bomb NEIPA clone. Plenty of Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo dry hops in the fermenter about three days into primary fermentation. I've had very good results with this method based on the 30 gallons I've brewed over the last three months. I also whirlpool 9 ounces of hops for 45 minutes after flameout, it takes my wort about that long to drop down to 170F.

My understanding is that dry hopping during active fermentation allows phenols to adhere to proteins which create a permanent haze. I've had beers on tap for up to three weeks before being kicked, and the pours were still hazy. At the end of fermentation dropping the temperature to 40F a day prior to kegging is all I've been doing. Of course, as one of our club members said, don't add whirlfloc to your kettle when brewing a NEIPA.

Orange juice anyone?

Looks like an NEIPA to me. You happy with it?

[Inkleg]

It's good. It's only been on the gas for a week and needs to carb some more before I can compare it to the Galaxy, Mosaic, Citra one.

That glass would go perfect with my eggs and bacon this morning.

It looks delicious!

Now that I have a new yeast (Bootleg NEEPAH) it's time to revisit this recipe.

Its going to be a bit longer before I get to trying that yeast and I'm dying to find out what it's like.
One question though-----since almost all the recipes I see have no true bittering addition, how did this come out previously with one?

[Inkleg]

Yummy.....very Yummy!
Most recipes I've seen have a 60 minute clean bittering hop. I used .75 oz of Warrior last time I made this and it worked great. For this recipe I put 1 oz at 60 and that is only 40 IBUs of a clean bittering hop and I may just do .50 oz. It will just depend how I'm feeling, but I always do a bittering hop addition because I feel it adds to the recipe.
