an amazing mini brewery you got here. You just got yourself a new fan, subscriber and a student!

[@seriomarkj]

Just saw the apartment brewer do something similar with the dry hopping magnet set up... so genius, And I love it and will try it myself

[@Dakind94]

Such a great idea to include the water chemistry in your beer recipe! Would love to see in every future video!

[@pball98]

Dakind everybody’s water profile is different so what he needs to add will be different than someone in a different area.

[@Dakind94]

@@pball98 Yeah you're right! You might have to adjust the amount of calcium chloride you add in to make you sure you don't add too much calcium, other than that I don't think anyone's tap water is much different than his. What do you think?

[@peperb0y]

WOW. Very impressed with the O2 free dry hop addition. Great job and I will copy. Subbed

[@kirk1902]

Thanks for the magnet idea Martin! Just did a NEIPA on the weekend and held up both dry hop additions with magnets on each side of the top of the fermenter

[@DimeNRhoads8204]

Loved your method for brewing and fermenting a NEIPA! I never leave my dry hops in for longer than three days (vegetal characteristics can be present), but it looks and sounds like yours came out the way it should! I look forward to each and every video you put out!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thank you!

[@ShortCircuitedBrewers]

Nice beer!! Bringing out all the techniques on this one!! I was wondering about pulling the hops in the bag under with the magnet and keeping them submerged.. I might have to try it!! Cheers Martin!! 👍🍻

[@justincutajar7424]

I did the same thing. Used earth magnets to submerge hops and then pull it back out when the first dry hop was done rather than letting the hops sit and give off vegetal flavours

[@ShortCircuitedBrewers]

That was very clever how you handled the first dry hop using the magnet. Your assistant tester really liked this one.

[@distractiontherapy]

Hi Martin, this is such an amazing beer/brew, stunning colour, aroma and taste. I did none of the pressurised brewing that you've done and now wonder now much better my NEIPA could have been. Next Saturday challenge...Saison or Tripel, you decide 😉

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Tripel would get my vote. But I have to wait for that one - it’s further down the list.

[@ricardogamboa4334]

Just kegged this recipe. Taste great. Thanks for the magnet technique. Just got a fermizzila all a rounder and was wondering how to dry hop. Went down to Home Depot got a couple cheap magnets and wrapped them in plastic wrap. I am a huge IPA fan and this was my first NEIPA. Thanks again

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Fantastic.

[@tylerwaite7201]

Having closed-transferred a NEIPA from a plastic bucket, the fermzilla setup you used seems like such a great way to do it. Cheers!

Great video. Love the magnet and the pressure Fermentation. I just started using pressure Fermentation myself. This is my second batch

[@timallmand1509]

What a great vid, I love the magnet dry hop addition idea, gold👍. But why don't many people discuss the reason for reducing the temp after flame out for the whirlpool edition?? This is critical, it is ultimately chill haze and creates polyphenols. I want to know more about it

[@EngineeringDisaster]

Beautiful looking beer Martin. Totally digging the technique on this. I need to get a fermzilla. Sooner than later. My mouth was watering seeing that one. NEIPA in my near future for a brew. Good stuff. Cheers!

[@foleyu2]

Wow you've brought your A game, great brewing effort throughout

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks 🤟

[@ColoradoBrewTalk]

Have to agree, the hop bags and magnets were ingenious!

[@hoppyindianbrewery9138]

I dry hope through the collection jar. I start fermentation with jar close and on 3rd in fermentation i add hops in the jar purge with co2 and open the valve. And same with the second dry hop. Remove the jar and spent hops. Clean santize add hops and purge and open the valve again

[@whiteapollo11]

Awesome setup dude! Mad respect.

[@padrehousecat]

I love NEIPA. My local brewpub makes one that has a lot of pineapple 🍍 notes in it. It is one of my favorite beers ever (along with foreign extra stout)

[@mrow7598]

As a guy who can get some really well known NE IPAs fresh, I'm glad you didn't go overboard with the bittering and you used hops that didn't had pine and resin flavors. Way too many west cost breweries do that to NE IPAs. I'll note you used flaked barley normally NEIPAs use flaked oats. I hear conflicting things between the two, but flaked barley gives the beer a good head retention with a grainy taste while flaked oats gives the beer a creamy mouthfeel or taste to it.

[@woodshedbrewingco.481]

Cool ideas to lower the O2 contact! Good stuff! Sláinte!

[@zepvideogamer8405]

Hi! I love your videos. I'm a homebrewer too, from Uruguay. Nice to meet you!! I have 2 questions, what about the vegetal flavours for leaving the hops after day 3 still submerged? As far as I know after day 3 or 4 most of the hop oils would be already dissolved in the beer and from there they are just giving vegetal material to the beer. Maybe keeping the magnet attached to the bag would allow to take it up and outside the beer? And the second, what about purge the bottom of the yeast, before the 2nd dry hopping? Cause I think that doing it without purging, will get the hops oils encapsulated by the fermentation residues and not getting the most of them. Your channel is great and really fun for homebrewers!! The magnet idea is fantastic, gonna use it in my next dry hopping. Cheers from Uruguay!!

[@gregmorris2022]

Hey Martin. Brewed this 2 weeks ago, followed the video exactly, right down to the dry hop additions. Turned out great, really happy with it. One question, Why the aromatic malt?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Really pleased it worked out. The aromatic malt is to add a touch of smooth sweetness.

[@philjamieson5572]

What a well explained piece. Thanks.

[@TyinAlaska]

Yes, you can make great NEIPAs in a bucket. I've got what smells mind blowing going in one right now. However, having the insurance of knowing that the brewer has done everything within the brewery's constraints to ensure that the final product is as good as possible is simply better. It will will ensure a higher consistency of quality so long as the margin for human error within the extra steps is reduced through skill. Your recipe looks amazing Martin, and your beer sounds delicious.

[@XkannsenX]

i do close transfer with 2 fermentasaurus "snubnose" when i want to add hops. It works great too !

[@boriskrivoshiev7796]

This is the best NEIPA grain 2 glass tutorial I've seen. Succinct but detailed enough to capture all little nuances. Also doesn't hurt that this is the system I plan to be using. Regarding the second dryhopping, could you not have done the magnet trick as you did with the first charge? The reason I ask is because I will be getting the Fermentasaurus Snub Nose since I've heard that the Fermzilla can be finicky and prone to leaking. Also, would opening the fermenter to dry hop really introduce any O2 since the brew will be off-gassing and therefore if anything be pusing CO2 out of the fermenter? Love the channel

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thank you. Yes, absolutely could use two magnets. I only had one :D

Two questions Martin. First, why is NEIPA not on your list? It is BJCP style 21B. Second, why didn't you just rig up another bag and magnet for you second dry hop?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

I think I may be using an older BJCP list of styles. It’s not listed in the book I’m using. And yeah could have possibly used a second magnet but honestly was not sure even the first would work out.

[@pskahan]

@@TheHomebrewChallenge The "2015 BJCP Style Guidelines" is the most recent version, according to BJCP.org. Style 21B is Specialty IPAs, but NEIPA is not listed as one of the examples. However, since 2015 the BJCP has recognized four Provisional Styles, including NEIPA, which was added to Style 21B.

Really interesting video and very timely as about to embark on my first NEIPA - with the Fermzilla do you open up the valve from day one of ferment and remove trub before dry hopping or just leave valve closed until you dry hop?

I left closed til the dry hop.

[@joshbutler461]

@@TheHomebrewChallenge I thought they were vittles vault containers. Thanks.

[@paolorr]

Martin, I also have a Fermzilla like yours, but one thing that I don't like when adding hops from the bottom is wasting 1L of beer. I noticed that you fermented with the butterfly valve closed (10:10 and 10:34), so you didn't waste beer. I'm thinking of doing that, but the manual states in the warning section to "Keep the butterfly valve always open during fermentation". Do you use to ferment with the valve closed? Have you ever had any problems doing this?

[@MrNilzon]

I absolutely LOVE your Dry-Hop solution with the magnets. Im gonna try that myself in an ordinary plastic fermenter. However, I have one question regarding this, or specifically regarding the hops sustainability. I have a recipe where I am supposed to add the dry hop at day 10-12. Will the hops stay fresh that long, hanging inside the fermenter in its hop bag or will it go bad?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Should be fine. Give it a go!

[@jeffclause02]

Do you release the pressure before dry hopping through the collection container ?

[@dimash244]

Brewed one up on friday, tried adding 6 oz of hops through collection jar. i put them in bags and whn i opened valve jar filled up with yeast and trub 😂 Had to learn quite a few new things on this beed for sure, too much water, too low sg, dry hopping under pressure

[@maclafm1252]

Why didn't you switch the addition methods around? Any O2 introduced while fermentation is still active will be purged out or absorbed by the yeast. Then for your second addition, you could have dropped the magnet.Just a thought

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Yeah not a bad idea. I was quite worried that magnet was going to drop accidentally hence my hurry to do that first.

[@acidacidacidacidacid]

any tips for using large quantities of hops and not having it come out harsh?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Add them late.

[@gmanGman12007]

What safest way to Cold hop would you recommend while using a regular fermentor bucket thing? Does the bucket need to be CO2 pressurised when opening or it will be naturaly CO2 pressurised from fermentation?

[@fleshboundtobone]

When transferring from the FV to the keg like this, are you just dependent on the floating dip tube being short enough to not dip into the trub? So that you transfer beer only

Yes. Or cut it off when the level gets low.

[@xuedalong]

Before you opened the butterfly valve to release beer into the 2nd batch of dry hops, what was the pressure inside the fermentor? Did you pressurize the collection jar to the same level before opening?

[@mrthesquid]

How does your hop spider work? I've been wanting to get one just to help keep things a little cleaner and not using a bunch of bags. Does it get clogged with pellets and prevent the wort from boiling through and getting proper isomerization?

[@benhadman2812]

I was thinking the keg-as-air-lock concept can go one step further. If the keg was filled with sanitising solution and the co2 from fermentation forced the solution out of the keg replacing with pure co2. Once the keg is empty put the spunding value on. This way you have a pure gas mix of co2 without any o2.

[@dvitsupakorn]

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

[@BaldsmanBrewing]

I also use clawhammer’s included hop spider, and notice that using more than a couple ounces of hop pellets tends to clog it. So you poured your whirlpool directly in the kettle with no issues?
