How to Brew a HAZY IPA UNDER PRESSURE - Get the MOST OUT OF DRY HOPS

[@SteveBenson]

Per Genus Brewing recommendation, just add 3-5 grams of ascorbic acid into your water pre mash-in and that will take care of all your oxidation concerns - you won't have to worry about using any malted oats at all. The ascorbic will remove the precursors that lead to oxidation. I've been doing this for years now and my NEIPA keg stability is insane - 3+ months later (it rarely lasts that long) and it's the same golden color as it was on day 1.

[@Tobyjrn6297]

He has actually recommended doing this a few times in the past, curious if there is any reason it's not mentioned in this vid

[@MrDgmiller]

Beat me to it

[@BennyBestt]

Pressure fermented, and closed transferred, shouldn't be any need for that acid guys? What you recon?

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Yup, use it all the time but I just forgot to add it and film it, and instead added at kegging. Works fine either way but its just another line of defense when combined with other techniques. I'd rather layer multiple techniques to combat oxidation than rely on one alone.

[@lisacarruthers9649]

@@TheApartmentBrewer I am reliably informed that the boil will de-nature the ascorbic acid, so putting it in the mash is pointless. Your way is much better. The reason Genus brewing do it is that they have a commercial scale setup. Hot-side oxidation is not a worry for small-scale home-brewers.

[@hunterhenderson9721]

Peep your balcony neighbor in the video bomb lol being deployed and watching your videos just makes me wanna be back and brewing more and more

[@TheLordquast]

great video Steve! I do a ton of Hazy's.... I would recommend swapping out the golden naked oats for white wheat.... what I usually use for my base malt bill for Hazy's is: 9-10lbs Pilsen, 2lbs white wheat and 3lbs flaked oats. I like my Hazy's to be around 6.5-7% I just recently had one dry out more than expected, it got down to 1.008, when it tends to get down below 10.014... I will add .5-1lb of lactose in when kegging.... it makes a ton of difference

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Hey Chris, thank you for the suggestions! I think a lot of this has to do with Verdant, if I was to use it again I'd definitely add more dextrins.

[@pinkstars2185]

Can never go wrong with citra, Simcoe, and Amarillo. I've recently gone back to this trio as cryo hops. All time aroma and flavor. I'm gonna use your recipe for my next batch. The lighter body haze is nice to have on tap when it's the end of stout/porter season

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

They work very well together!

[@rivrivrivera2916]

Amazing combo !!!

[@MRW3455]

Hi Steve, Verdant IPA is a beast, the krausen can be huge ( i have had a couple of overnight surprises with it) and it is also very attentuative but it does complement the flavours of this beer style very well. I would agree pressure fermentation is a serious consideration for this. Cheers

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I really loved it to be honest, next time I use it I will add some dextrin malt though

[@MRW3455]

That's interesting, i have literally just taken delivery of some dextrin for the very same reason 👍🏻😁

[@tayloranderberg8283]

Great video! I'm going to have to give the pressure fermenting trick a try now. I have read from Scott Janish that Vic Secret and Amarillo don't biotransform, so I think I would leave them in the second dry hop only. He also is doing a lot of short and cold dry hops in a soft crash that work tremendously for extracting that juice and not getting hop creep/burn

Nice! Sounds like you're set up for success!

[@joelaing6799]

Brilliant video. Am I right in saying if you checked FG and cold crashed, you could have lowered abv? Is there any negatives to cold crashing?

[@smaster15]

I absolutely love this yeast! If you ferment right, you should get notes of apricot, vanilla and yoghurt! It sounds like you didn't get to experience this much with this brew, maybe from the pressurized ferment but I'm not sure. Also, the brewery where the yeast come from have outright said they don't like to bother with biotransformation dry hopping with this yeast. So, you could give it a go where you don't dry hop during this phase and see if you get more of the apricot, yoghurt vibes from that. I hope to see you brewing more with this yeast, it really is one of my favourites :)

Probably got blown out by the hops but I expect I'll be using it again!

Awesome brew Steve! I just brewed my first NEIPA using WLP095 Burlington Ale, and flaked wheat/oats were only ~15% of grain bill. I was disappointed in both the color and haze, or lack thereof.

Cheers! Keep at it and you'll dial in a stable haze

[@mikekeller5202]

Nice hop choice, looks great. I’ve had good results eliminating hop creep and burn by chilling to 55ish ferinhiet before dry hopping followed by a 48 cold crash before packaging.

This looks delicious!! I’m late to the beer game. I’ve always been a whiskey girl. So as teens when everyone was drinking their Nasty Natty, I was drinking Jack. Lol I have found that NEIPA’s are some of my faves along with sours. As a foodie and chef I’ve discovered that anything I eat or drink I want to be an absolute flavor punch in the face. We were discussing opening a food truck and I said my tag line would be, ‘All your favorites, all methed up!’ My wife vetoed the meth line! 😂 I like the flavors, not just bitter hop blah. Just got my first beer kits in, an Apple, and a pumpkin for the fall, and an NEIPA. I’ll be checking out some of your other videos on best practices before I get to the hazy. I just have buckets and a fermonster then bottles. I’ll be working on the equipment to make the 02 exposure minimal before I make it. Thanks for great info and reviews after the process.

Your recipe is eerily similar to mine that I have in the fermenter right now. SG was 1.064 and my FG is about the same. I was worried about that until your video. Thanks for the tip about transferring to keg and leaving at room temp for a week. I hadn't planned on doing that but I will now

Always you do this videos very simple I really love that cheers 🍻

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DFDSArt]

Just one simple Idea for the future of your tastings. I think about the amount of beer you are always pouring into your glassware. Of course it looks beautiful when you fill it up and the foam sits on top of it and its full until the top, but when it comes to the tasting, there is simply just no room for all the aroma, it just disapears it doesnt concentrate in the headspace above the Beer. Some Time ago i told you, via Instagram, about the german engeniered glassware from Spiegelau, all of them are bigger than 0.33 or 0.5 Liter because of that! There is allways enough headspace so that you are really able to smell everything you put into your beer, especially with that kind of beer. Anyways, will definetly use your recepie as a guideline in the future brew :) ever thought about Sharing it via brewfather? Cheers from Germany!

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@secretlevel5951]

Really cool! Enjoyed your techniques in the vid! Do you know if there's any science out there behind spunding "containing" the aroma or having a more positive impact on it overall? In the same way - will excessive purging diminish the aroma of a beer?

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I don't have any science to give you but in my experience (this is the 8th hazy IPA on the channel) this makes a huge difference. The beer is fully carbonated by the time fermentation is done, and when that CO2 is dissolved into it, it keeps those aromatic compounds in solution much more effectively. CO2 definitely strips aromas out of the beer during fermentation.

[@NWsmallbatchBrewing]

Lots of cool techniques. Awesome video.

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it!

[@seriomarkj]

Just saw a video about how the time frames for dry hopping and how it affects hazy, and it was super interesting...apparently if you drop hop later you get better haze, wasn't sure if you saw this but figured you would find it interesting

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Interesting indeed. My understanding is most of the stable haze is created during the early dry hop where polyphenols from the hops bind to proteins, but I'm not sure if that would work the same way with a late dry hop. Double dry hopping certainly ensures you get haze though!

[@iansiviter1338]

Great video as always, thank you. Can I ask whether you used the same keg for serving that you used for the conditioning and D-rest step? I'm wondering if a lot of yeast etc. would make it over to that keg given that the transfer happened before any cold crashing. Apologies if you covered that and I missed it

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I did, just makes the process a lot easier. I use floating dip tube in my kegs so the trub isn't a big deal

[@danielnovak7377]

Great looking beer! I like the magnets idea for dry hopping. Do you need to worry about the krausen or an over-active fermentation getting the hops wet, or, if you’re not fermenting under pressure, do you need to worry about hops going bad?

[@BuchsiSchruber]

I asked myself the same question. Bus as it is in a environment which is almost fully filled co2 i think if they dont stay to long there‘s not a big problem

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Since I dry hopped basically after the krausen blew through my airlock I didn't need to worry about them getting wet. The CO2 in the headspace will keep them fresh, pressure or not, as long as the beer is still actively fermenting when you get them in there.

[@FermentationAdventures]

Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised that you didn't get anything from the Golden Naked Oats. I've used it a couple times in hazy ipa/apas and really noticed it giving a quaker granola bar like character that didn't fit in the beer.. at least I was blaming it on the Oats. Either way I've preferred batches without it. I've made a few batches with Verdant IPA yeast.. and actually the yeast batch where I re-pitched the yeast rather than pitching fresh dry gave a really nice ester profile.

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I'm still a bit unsure of why that is. By all accounts it should contribute a lot of flavor. Interesting note on the 2G Verdant pitch, I'll have to try that!

[@marktucker6368]

Brilliant video mate ! Also love the direction of travel for the production your doing, loved the flying in comments ! As an aside what is the fermentation app your using, I guessed it may have been tilt ?

[@stevenplass3139]

Hi Steve, I really enjoyed this video because Verdant is a yeast I want to try to make a Hazy with and I like how you try newer or different methods and report back on it all. So I have a question, did you consider or measure your wort PH before moving it to the fermenter or after mashing? The reason I ask is because I'm reading up on 2 things - How hop flavors and aromas are perceived depending on the beer's PH, generally a lower PH is preferred say less than 5.5-ish. And how dry hopping actually raises the beer's PH. Cheers and Thanks!

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

The things you are reading up on regarding pH are very true. I probably should have measured the post-boil pH but it worked out pretty well. Cheers!

[@rolandboekhoff3758]

Hey there, probably late into this but "never too late to learn". Just a possibly dumb question but when dry hopping with a bag in an all-rounder (just got one 👍) how do you wash/sanitize it afterwards. Or even sanitize before without dampening the pellets? See I told you it was a dumb question. Love the vid btw, I 'think' I've been encouraged to experiment. Cheers

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Not a dumb question - there's nothing wrong with dipping the bag in some sanitizer, but its really not necessary for the most part. I've never had a problem result from that.

Any thoughts on the length of time you are dry hopping? I keep seeing that anything after 72 hours doesn't give additional extraction. Keep up the great job!🍻

Usually I do 3-5 days on average. I imagine there are diminishing returns but for a DDH unless you're separating the hops each time, that first dry hop addition is going to sit in there longer than 3 days.

[@XkannsenX]

Very interesting ! I never let my hops more than 3 days (+2 cold crash) in dryhoping. What about a close transfert after the first DH, and another one after the 2nd ?

I brewed a neipa with the same yeast and cryo Citra, was one of my best beers so far. Unfortunately the hop flavour vanished very quickly since I bottle and I don’t have enough space in the fridge to keep all bottles cold. Do you think adding more hops would have helped? I didn’t go too heavy on whirpool and dry hop, since I was concerned with oxidation and hop burn. P.s. I just ordered the Lallemand Novalager to brew a Czech Pilsner, are you planning on using that on future brews? Cheers from Italy

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I need to try out a bunch of new lallemand yeasts! Novalager is on the list for sure. I hope your NEIPA didn't oxidize in the bottle. Next time I would increase your whirlpool additions since that doesn't have an impact on oxidation.

[@Th3GreenBeret]

@@TheApartmentBrewer thanks for the advice. I don’t think it was oxidised, the color didn’t change overtime and I didn’t notice any off flavours. The first bottles were full with tropical fruit aroma and flavour, but unfortunatly the last I opened just had a hint of that.

[@unagiandroe]

After the first dry hop addition do you pressurize the fermenter to 10 PSI as well or do you just let the residual primary fermentation raise the pressure slowly?

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I re-pressurized after the first dry hop

[@1TheLord1]

Have you considered dextrin malt / carapils? You see it a ton in NEIPAs for that body and a bit of sweetness you are looking for? Otherwise looks like a good one. Great 1.0 that will benefit from a 2.0 attempt! Anything you think you picked up that was from the yeast?

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Definitely would help to have that dextrin in there. I've made quite a few of these even without dextrin malt though and its the first time its dropped that low in the end. There's no way the yeast was ester-free but I had trouble differentiating between yeast ester and hop flavor as far as fruity goodness. It blends very well.

[@RegicideBrewing]

For the mash, how did you dial in the recipe with those flaked wheat. I tend to run into efficiency problems with my mash when I add flaked. I also use a clawhammer 120v all-in-one system and attempted to use the same grain bill. My mash efficiency is around 52% on average (tried my recipe 3x using the same grain bill you are using) What was your mash efficiency with this recipe? Any tips for the efficiency issue?

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Hmm, that seems very very low for what you should be getting on the clawhammer. I usually get at least 70% efficiency overall on the system. Check your temperature calibration, crush a bit finer, don't rush the mash if you are, those are really my biggest tips.

[@morganfisher3149]

I am new to this home brew thing, and I have a question. Do you remove the first dry hop bags you put in by hand, or do you just leave them in for the entire fermenting process. I am guessing you did since this is a pressurized fermenter, and you did not want to take a chance of oxidation.

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Ideally you can remove them but because of the pressure fermentation you would probably not want to do that. In some cases it's OK to leave them in a bit longer than recommended if you keep the temperature down.

[@stevegerla8894]

[@ReMiNiSc388]

Is it necessary to let the keg sit at room temp for another week? I have heard of kegging after 10 days in primary and force carbing so that it can quicker grain to glass. Will the beer still "clean itself up" at 36F in the keg.

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Not entirely but it will help get rid of two unpleasant things - hop burn and diacetyl from hop creep (if you have any). If you get it cold that diacetyl won't go away but the hop burn will.

[@johnrankin6044]

Is there significantly less CO2 coming out of the vessel with this method given that the spunding valve lets CO2 out once it hits the target pressure? Some goes in the beer but it’s not clear to me how much less comes out… Would you recommend a conical for this or do you prefer this method? Thanks!

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I'm not sure how much CO2 is retained vs released but the beer is fully carbonated by the time fermentation is done, and when that CO2 is dissolved into it, it keeps those aromatic compounds in solution much more effectively. A conical will work but it should be a pressure-rated unitank.

Hazy at a brewery they are unlike yours, slightly milky in color. Do you think they are slipping in a small percentage of Lactose sugar? They seem to be on the sweet side.

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I would rather wait an extra week for a better beer than rush it to not be as good as it could be. There is a lot of variation on sweetness in the style, but it does seem that its more popular to be sweeter. Could be lactose, could be dextrin, who knows?

[@whl9815]

I don't quite get how the pressure/spunding valve help preserving the strong hop charatecter. If the problem with water lock is that the hop aroma escapes through it with the gas produced by the fermentation, isn't it the same with a spunding valve? I mean once the pressure exceeds the limit you set with the valve, the gasses are getting out?

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I can't fully explain why it seems to be a difference, maybe its a placebo effect for me, but I notice a difference.

[@whl9815]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to question the validity of this method as I've read about this many times and I'm about to try it for my next batch of hazy ipa :) as I'm trying to learn about the more advanced techniques I'd just want to understand the 'whys' behind the process, rather than just blindly follow the instructions. And this kinda hit me like a 'showerthought' as I was planning my next brewday; what's the difference if you let the gas out through a water lock or a spunding valve? Do you pressurize the fermentor to desired pressure when you attach the spunding valve, or do you let fermentation to build up the pressure? Maybe this has something to do with the solubility of hop aromas under pressure as CO2 is dissolving in wort? Anyways, just recently found your videos and I really like the way you explain stuff in detail 👍
