What BEER are you drinking?
Looks like we have lots of experts on brewing here. Good to know.
The only thing that grinding the grains to flour consistency will get you is a stuck mash. If someone is adding flour during fermentation, why? This makes no sense.
Charlie is mostly right. You generally dry-hop at the end of fermentation. What is different about the NE IPAs is that they aren't filtered, the hopping schedule is heavily weighted toward dry-hopping (and the bittering aspect of late hop additions is now better understood), correct water chemistry helps keep bitterness under control, and they are meant to be drunk fresh. Almost all beer will eventually "fall bright" if kept cold for a couple of months.

Not an expert at all, hence my questioning of what I was told. Thanks for the replies guys.

I've had plenty still nice and hazy 2-3 months in. Can't remember one that's gone clear from Trillium/Monkish/Treehouse. I know the one I gave BG from Trillium was just about 3 months and it was still murky hazeRick Allen wrote:Looks like we have lots of experts on brewing here. Good to know.

Lots of people put grains into their hazy ipas to cheat the haze. This is a well known method. I don't know when they put it in, but they certainly do.

I have to come back and eat some crow here. I was wrong. Adding flour is a method for creating the hazy NE style. The brewers I've talked to in Maine and Massachusetts don't get their haze that way, but many home brewers do, and I suppose there are professional brewers that get a haze that way too.
Keep in mind that dry-hopped beer will stay cloudy much longer than beer that aren't. We have a kellerbier where we kept half of the batch plain, and dry-hopped the other half. The plain side is crystal clear and the dry-hopped version is still quite cloudy. I would still contend that even a NE style IPA will fall bright eventually. Next time I get a shipment from Tree House I'll set aside a Julius for a 4 or 5 months and see (BTW, the collaboration juicy lager we did made with them a year ago took six months to fall bright).

Had a Trill Sleeper Street the other night that was canned in end of Dec (lost in the back of my fridge) and it was definitely a bit more clear than fresher pours.

Monkish Brewing Co. Red Beans and Rice Didn't Miss Her. DIPA Collaboration with The Answer. 8.8% ABV. Hopped primarily with Citra hops with a touch of Mosaic and Galaxy. This is a showcase for Citra, from the aromatic sweet nose of Tangelo's to the dusky shadings of sweet honeydew melon. Classic creamy soft Monkish body that finishes long and dry. I cannot believe this beer is 8.8%. Phenomenal craftsmanship on all levels.
Highly recommended,

that i believe, i think at 5-6 months it'll get clear. Most people just shake it up afterwards haRick Allen wrote:I have to come back and eat some crow here. I was wrong.

PSA for Seattle beer fans, keep an eye out for Fair Isle Brewing. They won't open until sometime in 2018, but based on a tasting of their beers last night, Seattle will finally have a dedicated farmhouse, mixed culture brewery. Holy Mountain is rad, but they do more than just farmhouse beers. Fair Isle should stand out in what I consider a fairly monotonous beer scene and offer a fresh perspective. Color me excited.
With Fair Isle, the soon to be released Floodland beers, and the former Jester King folks opening a brewery in the Skagit Valley, WA, the local beer scene is about to receive a much needed shot in the arm.
Rick, the Fair Isle brewers love your beer and were excited to have HA in Seattle. Although they want kegs (me too). Your tag line should be "Lagers powering the wine and beer industry of the Pacific Northwest."

Regarding Brewing for haze, there used to be several extremely hazy wheat beers before the craft boom. I think Widmer and a couple others in the northwest had them. Does anybody know what the technique was for those (is there a link to current NE IPA) I don't remember them having any IBU to speak of though.

yeah like Hefeweizen is a hazy wheat beer. It had a high amount of wheat malt and residual yeast to cloud the drink. Witbier as well but that's straight up flour in it.Robert M yers wrote:Regarding Brewing for haze, there used to be several extremely hazy wheat beers before the craft boom.

Had to crack a fresh TH Green that was canned and picked up today. Julius is Julius, but the more I drink Green the more I come to prefer it. Beautifully balanced with pineapple and restrained tropical notes but not an over the top fruit explosion. It's smooth and drinkable despite it's heavy hops and 8% ABV. I find the long finish to be pleasantly bitter and before long you're wanting another sip.

It’s sharply bitter and nearly 8% ABV. . . The name comes from the initial batch in which, post boil, the wort looked green from so much hop particulate floating around. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes."

2014 Fifty Fifty Eclipse - Four Roses (Red Wax Cap)
Gifted from a somm buddy that was visiting from PA. Dark black color, with an orange/brown head. Feels a little thinner than the rest of the Eclipses I've had, with a little heat on the back-end that shows the 11.9% as it goes down. Flavor is heavy molasses, vanilla and a little caramel. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy the hell out of these beers... but there is no way I would pay $30/bottle for one. Based on the line-up that I saw was still sitting on shelves in Lafayette, CA last month, I think other people are coming to the same conclusion.

Night Shift - "Fluffy" American IPA
Holy crap, is this beer good! Probably the most apricot-y smelling beer I've ever had. Tasted of apricots, too. And comes in a very manageable 5.4% abv package, ta boot! Well done, Night Shift!

Monkish Brewing Co. Atomically, DIPA, 8.3% ABV. Hopped with Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy.
Yet another previously can only beer easily available for growler fills, I really like that Henry is doing this regularly now with the core line-up. There are three iterations of the Atomically family, this, Bombed Atomically and Beyond Atomically, all three are 8.3 % ABV, the difference being dry hopping schedules. This is a Galaxy bomb, huge pineapple and cantaloupe melon notes play off the tangerine from the Citra and the bitter berry flavors from the Mosaic, but its the Galaxy that shines throughout. If you never had a chance at this in cans now's your opportunity to taste a classic Monkish double fresh off the spigot, and the limit is 4PP per day.
Highly recommended,

No. Just "American IPA." I was astounded when I saw the abv. I thought for sure it was going to be around 7% or 8%, solely by virtue of how much flavor it has.

Basic City Advance DIPA. Every bit as good as the hot shit hipster Richmond IPAs. And the brewmaster live just down the hill from me. I can literally hit his house with a bottle if I get enough topspin and roll.

On another note: I stopped-in and filled a growler at Monkish last Saturday of the "Atomically." Friggin' finally! A DIPA that stands-out from the others! This one is really something else! Am planning on stopping there on my way home to fill another. So damn good!

Love Atomically, glad you got some, I filled 3 growlers of it last week, one of their best for sure, its the massive amount of Galaxy he uses on the back end, actually sipping one right now, hard to imagine this is 8.3%, its a crusher.Brian G r a f s t r o m wrote:That's usually my take on their stuff.

IMO, that is the best DIPA I've yet to taste from Monkish. Within the NE IPA matrix, it leans *a bit* West Coast.

During trip to Bellingham last weekend:
- Structures Brewing Fuzz hazy IPA and many other hazy IPAs whose names Escape me. Legit hazy IPAs. Best ones I've had from PNW breweries outside of Great Notion and Holy Mountain's Astral Projection. Along with the next brewery and the ability to buy Crooked Stave at Elizabeth Station, reminds me I need to visit Bellingham more often.
- Tasted across the Chuckanut lineup of lagers. Favs were Rauch Hellen, Hellen Lager and Vienna Lager. Hands down best lager brewery in WA.
But with a Heater Allen kegs coming, I know what I'll be seeking out next week. Along with bottles. Love the 500 ml bottles. Perfect amount of lager!
Plus, Oxbow tap takeover at The Masonry this Monday night!

You buy a lot of automatic doors Joe ?Joe Hauck wrote:BRhoades wrote:

Yet another previously can only beer easily available for growler fills, I really like that Henry is doing this regularly now with the core line-up. There are three iterations of the Atomically family, this, Bombed Atomically and Beyond Atomically, all three are 8.3 % ABV, the difference being dry hopping schedules. This is a Galaxy bomb, huge pineapple and cantaloupe melon notes play off the tangerine from the Citra and the bitter berry flavors from the Mosaic, but its the Galaxy that shines throughout. If you never had a chance at this in cans now's your opportunity to taste a classic Monkish double fresh off the spigot, and the limit is 4PP per day.
Highly recommended,

My Automatic door salesman just stopped by with one of these for me.

I usually spend around $200,000 a year on auto doors. I just placed a huge order for the airport and this was his thank you!BRhoades wrote:You buy a lot of automatic doors Joe ?Joe Hauck wrote:BRhoades wrote:

They just put on a 100% Galaxy DIPA. I will be checking on it after work today. ... 'twill be hard to pass on another growler of Scientifically, though ... although, this may be what it takes for me to buy another Monkish growler.

It's outstanding! The rest of this growler is going down during the LLWS American Championship game today. I'll be sad to see it go! I get a lot of that Galaxy pineapple, but in the end this is a huge tangerine bomb to me.BRhoades wrote:Joe, let me know what you think of this one.
