Cryo Pop Hazy Pale Ale (Bracket Brewing Clone)

For this brew I’m trying out cryo hops for the first time in this Bracket Brewing “Insert Name” hazy pale ale. This recipe was adapted from a homebrewer who queried bracket brewing on their hazy pale ale recipe. The grain bill for this beer is mostly pale malt, with a huge 30% of rolled oats and about 5% honey malt to give colour and a slightly sweeter/malty finish. The hops for this beer are Motueka, Idaho#7 and Cryo Pop, previously known as trial blend TRI2304CR. [Read More]

Hazy Crusher (DDH Session NEIPA)

I think this is my 3rd time making this beer, and I’m making it again because I think it’s great hazy ale. In the past, I’ve had issues around oxidation for these hoppy and oaty beers, but now I’m at a comfortable place with controlling oxidation through use of preservatives and techniques like closed transfers. When I ordered this beer, I could only get a hold of golden oat malt, which I decided to use. [Read More]

Hoppy Days Hazy Crusher (Session Neipa)

This is a recipe I took from Hoppy Days Brewing Supplies (Brisbane), which is a session NEIPA. This beer features low bitterness, heavily fruity/critrus hops and a full body with plenty of high-protein malts. This brew makes use of Verdant IPA yeast, which will aid in creating this hazy, hoppy fruit bomb. Although i’ve brewed this beer before, the first time was a dump due to heavy oxidation. This time around, I’m utilising the Fermzilla 27L to do a pressurised, closed transfer ferment, to avoid any oxidation. [Read More]
