This turned out to be a little more complicated then normal because of the dry hopping, the taste was not what I was expecting but to my surprise it is very good will buy again.
I also fell short on the OG around 1.074 and my final was 1.016 (I put 5.5 gallons in the carboy). This was in the fermenter a bit longer than I wanted at 23 days (dry hoped for like 20 - 15 days! no secondary). I followed the dry hop schedule accordingly and then had to evacuate my house for wildfire for 10 days about midway through. I made huge yeast starter (500 to 700 billion cells in anticipation of 1.084 OG) which may be why I didn't get the final gravity as low as anticipated? Tasted good at bottling so I will revise if failure occurs form here. I used the Palmer method of adding the second half of extract at 15 minutes to go and the color is way better than in previous extract batches.
Turned out great got a nice haze and orange peel flavor will be buying again in the future.
Good... I meant to purchase all-grain... but this was an excellent kit. Color is amazing, has a touch of a honey taste as well. Very tasty ... smelled great as it fermented.
Unpacked the kit and everything was well packed and labeled. While there are no instructions as to when, how long etc to steep the grains, oatmeal etc, I assumed these items were the "grains" to steep for 20mins and remove once wort reached 170 degrees. I also assumed the 10lbs of malt and 1lb dextrose also was intended for the full 60min boil, again no clear directions - thus the four stars. I added the hops per the timing noted. On day two its a beautiful golden orange color just like the photo and fermenting profusely. Can't wait to taste it...Will update then. But so far, so good.
Wow, great hazy juicy double IPA. I have a full keg and still look forward to making this again.
Since Haze Craze has been my favorite recipe for quite some time, I was excited to try the Double IPA version, MoreHaze. After looking at the recipe I noticed immediately the copious amounts of Simcoe in this one. A little leery of too much pine, I eliminated the drop hop addition of Simcoe to secoonday. That was a good decision. There are still plenty of pine notes in this recipe. Maybe still a little too much. I love the citrus and fruit to come through as prominent. A little Simcoe is fine but it needs to be tamed. I'd give this recipe 5 stars if the Simcoe was dropped to .5 oz in primary and eliminated from secondary.
There are so many types of hops, and through dry-hopping the different flavors of flowery hops was one of the best I have ever had. I will be doing this one again and again. Thanks!
Everything is good so far! We will see in a few weeks!
Note to self... always read the directions all the way through before you start.... getting ready to keg this hop monster and expect it will be fine but I missed a few targets in the dry hop schedule...
This is the best NEIPA kit on the market for extract brewers IMO.
On a recent vacation to Vancouver, BC enjoyed many delicious brews. My favorite was a hazy citrusy NE IPA. Though mostly an all grain home brewer, opted for the Extract beer kit. Made a yeast starter, followed the ridiculously simple directions, and replicated a stunning beer. Grapefruit tones abound backed by a hazy malty sweet backbone that amazes all who have sampled it. This one will not last long. Carbonated to perfection in 24 hours using the carbonation lid available on this site.
This beer was AMAZING! Finished fermenting in 10 days, kegged it, and forced carbonated it for 2 weeks. The aroma is of hops, citrus and godlike power. More hoppy than Bugs Bunny and stronger that BEAR-cules (hercules? anybody?). This is far and away my favorite beer! I will not only recommend it to all my brewing buddies but I'll let them try it so they know the truth first hand.Also of note: I used the the Korney keg jumper line (KEG575) to transfer from the keg I used to do my second round of dry hops to my primary serving keg and it was amazing, no oxygenation of the beer or loss of flavors.Yeast used for this was London Ale III (WY1318) also highly recommended.
Very nice kit. Easy to make. Very forgiving recipe. Use a higher end yeast (it gives you a better beer....duh). This beer does benefit from a second fermentation (due to settling of hops and yeast). Brewed this in glass carboys, if you use plastic buckets be aware that there are a lot of biologicals (hops) that might find their way into scratches in your buckets and create "skunk" brew in your next batch. Beer tastes great, great HAZY color and texture, nice alcohol content, without a "boozy" taste. This brew is definitely in the top 20% of beer I have made. I recommend it Highly!
This is absolutely my favorite brew I’ve made so far. I absolutely recommend making this outstanding nectar of the gods.
This was my first ever homebrew. I missed the mark on the OG (1.075) I assume because I couldn't get all the LME out of the two bags. I pitched two packs of gigayeast and about 15 hours later it took off. Dry hopped as scheduled and left them in. Airlock activity was done by day 4 which worried me a bit. Day 11 I took a gravity reading. It was 1.009 (8.7% abv). I cold crashed in my SS brew bucket and transferred to a keg on day 12. I force carbed and starting drinking on day 13. It was delicious and dangerously smooth.
I love NEIPAs and was excited to make this one. The flavor is fantastic with some strong hop flavors and aromas but less bitter than most other IPAs.The cons, it tended to be darker than I would have wanted but no biggie. NEIPAs are traditionally cloudy and this one was very cloudy, this is due to all the dry hopping. I did use muslin bags to add the hops but there was still a tremendous amount of trub. I felt I lost a significant amount of beer to the huge amount of trub in the bottom of my carboy.Overall, I love the beer. I am glad I made it but I think I will be trying my hand at a different NEIPA recipe soon.
First time home brewing and this on has got me hooked! This NE DIPA has one of the best noses on it that i have ever smelled. The hop aromatic profile was on point. The flavor was a bit more muted. Has a soft mouthfeel. I may just buy this one again just to mess around with the dry hopping to see how much it changes the flavor profile.
I really liked the beer although it came out much darker than the picture shows. 9.4% ABV.
This is my 3rd homebrew to date, and the whole process went off without a hitch. It's awesome to brew a beer that I find incredibly tasty, and everyone else who tries it feels the same: "*You* brewed this?!" ;)My OG came in significantly lower than what was posted (1.083-1.086): 1.075. Maybe I didn't get enough of the extract out of the bag? (I even warmed it first). This was also my first time using a yeast starter (with GigaYeast Double Pitch - GY054 Vermont IPA Yeast), and I think that helped get the FG down to 1.012 =8.27% ABV, with a calculated 84% attenuation, not at all bad.It's super floral, super juicy, makes me think of orange juice. Bitter is on the low end, which is great for my tastes, but them smells and flavors are all over the place.Obviously this leaves a ton of hop-trub in the fermenter: I use a conical FastFerment, and this was the first time I had to siphon out of that to a bottle bucket: The collection ball&valve would just get too clogged up with the stuff to be used effectively.But at the end of the day, it turned out great, highly recommended if you'er into this type of beer.
So much so that even with 12 taps this is my go to pour. I’m on my 5th batch of this awesome in a glass in under three months. First time brewing I did a single kit....next two times did 10 gallon batches so there is always a keg of it available to drink. I always double pitch London ale 3 wyeast. And two times added an additional 1 ounce of citra and 1ounce of mosaic CRYO hops as a last dry hop addition. These are dropped right to the unitanks, as I can dump them before kegging.If your on the fence and like IPAs this should be your first NEIPA. Click the buy button and prepare to be amazed with the results.Mikes
Great kit. First time double dry hopping and didn't take absorption loss and end up low on final volume. Overall a great deal.
Good overall, little light on flavor but it may come around with some time.
Very strong, good flavor, easy to make
This one has a great finish and one that an IPA drinker will enjoy
Split the recipe in two, both turned out great
The Aroma of the hops while it was dry hoping was awesome. I used a grain bag for the hops but didn't get the orange color or the haze. Mine came out more of a copper color, but it was still awesome. Next time I'm throwing the hops directly into the fermenter.
just kegged this beer and it smells like a citrusy tropical juice, one of the best smells ive ever smelled from an IPA, i dry hopped in muslin bags so mines not very hazy, but the color is consistent with orange juice.. cant wait till this batch cold crashed so i can start to force carbonate
