After many dozens of batches of IPA's, stouts, red's, etc, I decided to try an NEIPA.
I'm all setup for this type of beer as I have fermzillas for fermenting under pressure and dry hopping, I do closed transfers to purged kegs, so oxidization isn't an issue.
Anyway, yesterday I brewed this one: Avg. Perfect Northeast IPA (NEIPA) Beer Recipe | All Grain Specialty IPA: New England IPA by kcq101 | Brewer's Friend
I followed the recipe mostly:
11 lbs 2-row
1lb 6.5oz flaked oats
1lb 6.5oz wheat malt
7oz honey malt
I did all the water additions as listed in the recipe.
I followed the hops schedule (Though I had to substitute citra->Amarillo and Galaxy->Simcoe), adding some at 10 minutes left in boil, then once my counterflow had the wort down to 170 I added the next round, let it sit 15-20 minutes, then continued cooling.
I hit my OG target right on.
However, I left a sample in a hydrometer cylinder overnight, at room temp, and this morning it's quite clear, no haze.
Will this develop as part of the ferment or dry hop phase?
I always cold crash my beers to clarify them, and will with this too (they end up in the keg anyway so going to be cold crashed no matter what), but I understand at won't affect the haze NEIPA's are known for as it's not the yeast/trub causing the haze, but the oils from the grains (like the oats). But I currently have no haze. Photos of that recipe look hazy, so I'm just curious what to expect.
Thanks for any input.
