My first Lemmy post!

I’m very keen to see this community grow. I’m traditionally a reader not a poster but that is not what we need now!

I’m brewing a west coast ipa this weekend. Dank, resiny goodness, and about 6.5%.

I make good ipa, but it’s always hazy - due to the high rate of dry hopping (not other reasons - I can brew crystal beers of other styles).

For this one I’m going to try an extended cold crash at 2 deg C, followed by biofine at the upper end of the recommended dosage. 2 dry hop additions of 7g/l each, on day 1 and day 6. Hop pellets are added through a hop dropper, loose. Whirfloc in the boil too, but don’t think it’ll help with hop haze.

Any other ideas? We’ve tried a few different fining agents with limited success.

    Interesting! Not something I’ve looked at in detail before. pH would be somewhere in the 4s I imagine. Second dry hop is today so I’ll report back in a few weeks 🙂
