How To Home Brew Your First NEIPA | The Malt Miller Home Brewing Channel

[@davec4955]

Regarding water, rather than spending a lot of money on an RO system, (and if it's available near you) Spotless water is an excellent choice and much cheaper than bottled water. I sent a sample to Murphy's just to confirm it was suitable. It's an Ideal starting point. There are two outlets in Swindon !

[@neilholder6337]

Came here to say this, I'm lucky to be about 5-10 mins drive away. Always put my source as RO water and it made a huge difference to my beers.

[@themaltmiller8438]

Great point! These are a good way to get going with RO and then if you get on with it well and wanted too, you can pick up our small RO system for £59

[@jamesyork48]

I use spotless too big improvement also cheap and works well for sanitizer. And use 50/50 ish when cip cleaning seems to stop / reduce the white residue from the cleaner.

[@stripeyjoe]

+1 for Spotless, if you get a few referrals they end up paying you for water. I put £20 credit on over two years ago, have used 2-300l and my balance is nearly £50!

[@bigsqueegie]

Thanks for this. Never heard of it and got one just near me in SE London. Will give it a go next brew! Send referral links if that's a thing

[@markpope6162]

A really well presented video with lots of great advice. I now want to have a go at a NEIPA!

[@NathanJohnson-vz8mz]

Keep these going, love the inspiration 🍻

[@themaltmiller8438]

Glad you like them!

[@loganscully373]

literaly just did my first all grain NEIPA today. Great to see it

[@themaltmiller8438]

Nice work!

[@stripeyjoe]

Great video! Would love to see a bit more of the brew footage, explaining the different steps, especially if you are planning on using different systems for each brew.

[@CascadesHomebrew]

Well done video! I have brewed several hazies over the years, and this video is loaded with good information that is also in a format useful for novice brewers. 🍻

[@marcschmid5983]

Maybe go for an English IPA combining old school british hops with some of the newer local breds, but still match BJCP guidelines.

Fabulous stuff - thoroughly enjoyed this ... and timely: I'm thinking of brewing a NEIPA in a couple of weeks ... take my money :D

[@OysterBoysBrewingCo]

That beer looks absolutely delicious. I wish I had smellovision!!!!!

[@Dts1953]

A brilliant video and another that was full of information that was presented in a clear and concise way! 👍👍👍 I would love Jo to write a recipe for a bitter which has a good balance of malt and hops but maybe slightly more prominent on the hop side. Thank you guys and all the best!👍👍👍

[@themaltmiller8438]

Great suggestion!

[@mandrews5748]

My suggestion is a wheat beer. Robs favourite style.

[@adrianreed5464]

Another great video. I need to try a hopstand after whirlpooling like you've suggested. I presume you dropped the yeast out before dry hopping?

[@themaltmiller8438]

That is correct

[@PRH0210]

My suggestion for what to brew next: Munich Helles ... there's no place to hide with this!

[@alidavemason4417]

I must start watching your videos later in the day, as I want to pour one right now but it's a bit early in the day for me. Oh sod it, it's the weekend, Cheers🍻

[@themaltmiller8438]

Have fun!

[@deefadog06]

Ordering this kit next week :) Is there a chance you can add the recipe to Brewfather?

[@themaltmiller8438]

Hey! No, sorry. We’re not able to upload recipes to Brewfather unfortunately. Just down to the time it takes and the variables on peoples different brewing systems, you’ll get a recipe sheet with your order which details all the ingredients and timings and if you have any questions just drop us an email to [e-mail]

[@deefadog06]

@@themaltmiller8438 That's Cool! No worries. I added the VERDANT water profile to my account ;) Thanks for the share! I use RO, so this will help immensely!

[@AndrewLynch9]

Next beer should be a German Helles 😘

[@themaltmiller8438]

Good call!!

[@cjibbo]

Stiffo 21b is the old 2015 category for NEIPA, it was moved to 21c (Hazy IPA) category in 2021. Unfortunately the BJCP aren't good at cleaning their web pages up and refer to a lot of the old guidelines. I found out the hard way in the UK nationals when I placed it in 21b accidentally. After searching BJCP new England IPA In Google. The descriptors I don't think have changed mind.

[@doctorsam1953]

Porter please! The malt bill is really important but you can also have some interesting hop combinations - love the variations which The Kernel create with their Export India Porter. I once tried to recreate Põhjala’s peel and bean imperial porter. Let’s just say it was more ‘clown’ than ‘clone’. 🤣

[@ReadingTim88]

American Light Lager next please 😊

[@matthewhurrell3948]

I’m really loving the WHC dry yeasts, especially Saturated. I do however struggle to get saturated to attenuate into the estimated range, I’m consistently getting 70%. I’m direct pitching at the instructed rate and fermenting in range. Any tips or shall I just change the attenuation in Brewfather, stop worrying and relax with a homebrew?

[@themaltmiller8438]

Are you adding yeast nutrients?

[@matthewhurrell3948]

@@themaltmiller8438I’m not but I’ll give that a try, cheers

[@twiliteturtle495]

As a frequent NEIPA brewer and an even more frequent mocker of BJCP guidelines, their suggested FG stats make my teeth itch. A FG of 1.010-1.015 would preclude a large proportion of the "big" commercially-made NEIPAs, and almost all big hazy doubles, from being "to style"! Beers finishing north of 1.020 are pretty common in the commercial NEIPA world...

[@mikejones-zy1tn]

Did you add any priming sugar to the keg? Did it carbonate naturally or did you force carbonate it?

[@themaltmiller8438]

No, it was force carbonated. Generally we don't batch prime into kegs due to the time needed at a warm temperature post fermentation and also the sediment this can create in the keg.

[@mikejones-zy1tn]

@@themaltmiller8438 how do you force carbonate at the malt miller. I've not had much success carbonating in a keg so far

[@themaltmiller8438]

[@stephenlunn3049]

On the recipe the aroma hops as listed state 80g each, but the hops given for whirlpool and dry hop only add up to 70g each...

[@themaltmiller8438]

Thanks for the spot! Should have been 50g each on the DH, fixed!

[@UndisclosedGamer1]

How much NBC clarity did you use? Surprised it didnt clear the beer.

[@themaltmiller8438]

0.5ml - It can clear beer out but with the high amount of adjuncts and then the haze positive yeast it's not made it drop out, this may alter a touch over a little time in the keg.... if it lasts! 😋

[@vidarbentestuen3819]

Where can l get the verdant water profil?

[@themaltmiller8438]

It's on this recipe page - www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/verdant-even-sharks-need-water-neipa/

[@SimonJD1000]

Hmm ... the first in this series was the West Coast American IPA, the second is the East Coast one. A distinction without a difference?! I'm sure there is more variety in store down the line ...

[@themaltmiller8438]

Rest assured, for the next one we’re coming back over the Atlantic 😉

[@Pocketpatriot]

The last malt name you said was very unclear as you both said it at the same time, I've tried to reply and listen a few times but can't hear what it was, can you let us know please? Thank you

You gave us the percentages of the malts (nice) but you didn't give us the total grain bill.....please! I'm also assuming that this is a 23 litre brew (important info!)?

[@themaltmiller8438]

6.75kg, 23L Batch! 😉

[@SCROWMD]

I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am just too cheap with my hops to brew NEIPAs

[@themaltmiller8438]

If you have the ability to rouse your dry hops whilst in the FV you can increase your efficiency from them significantly.

[@drummonez]

Why push the beer out the fermzilla with co2? Why not use gravity? Save the gas!

[@themaltmiller8438]

Gravity will mean we have to open the FV and as such risk oxidisation of the finished beer.

[@samavery8416]

@@themaltmiller8438 this is not true. lots of videos on this. why do you need to open the FV? Just connect gas to gas to equalise the pressure then liquid on FV. Push out the air with beer and then connect to keg. Where is air getting in?
