There are many, many resources out there discussing water, water profiles, and salt additions. We’ll operate under the assumption that it is a balanced profile, and since we want to be heavier on CaCl, we’ll add a little bit to set it over the edge. The primary reason for this is because we don’t know what water profile was used during the creation of the extract. Your salt addition will consist of one teaspoon (tsp) of Calcium Chloride after the steep and before the boil. All Grain Batch:įor Extract Brewers it’s a bit different. Here’s a quick rundown of what we use on our Foundry batches of Dumpster Fire: Hazy IPA Water Profile for a 5 Gal. We start with Reverse Osmosis water and add salts to the Mash, Sparge and Boil. There is no concrete rule to this, but to achieve that New England IPA taste, you’ll want to stick with more Chloride than Sulfate.

We want to be on the higher side of the chloride to achieve that soft pillow-esqe taste and mouthfeel. Water profiles are important in most beers, but it is crucial in NEIPA. So let’s dig in! Hazy IPA Water Profile Mmm….Salt. While both of these are part of brewing most styles of beer, they are crucial to crafting that Hazy, Juice-bomb IPA so many of us beer nerds crave. That’s not to say ingredients are unimportant (trust us, they’re important!), but there are two OTHER aspects of brewing this style of beer that are often overlooked: your water profile and minimizing oxygen. As an aside, it’s also our tribute to the year of 2020 and the multitude of challenges it presented, but we won’t get into that here though (yay) we’re here to talk about New England IPA!īrewers mostly focus on the ingredients when formulating their hazy IPAs. It is a New England Style hazy & juicy IPA and is our biggest and most ambitious IPA to date.

Recently we launched an exciting new beer kit here at Great Fermentations – Dumpster Fire IPA.
