Properly orange juice
Having had good success doing a NEIPA with Galaxy, I decided to run another one up but pairing with Simcoe, my favourite hop from the Deeds DKAT single hop series. Using the same recipe as before, I swapped in Simcoe during the boil, upped the size of and split the whirpool and dryhop 50/50 with Galaxy.
5kg 2-row
1kg Maris Otter
750g quick oats
A few handfuls of rice hulls, a pretty smooth mash
60m - 12g Simcoe
30m whirlpool - 38g simcoe, 50g Galaxy
30m - 50g Galaxy
Ended up around 1.060
Made use of a second generation Verdant NEIPA yeast, dry hopped on day 3.
100g Galaxy
100g Simcoe
Finished out around 1.010
I bought a new microgram scale, meaning my water profile was bang on this time, and it really shows through. The last one was amazing, but this is just sublime. Flavours are just as big and bold (and better balanced with the simcoe for my palate) but the mouth feel is just fantastic.
Properly orange juice
Seriously juicy
