NEIPA MILKSHAKE
6 gallon batch
OG: 1.083
FG: 1.021 (because of lactose)
SRM: 6
ABV : 8.5
Efficiency: 83%
60 min boil 60min mash @ 152.
Mash ph. 5.38 using distilled water
London Ale III 1318 (1.6L starter 24 hours before and pitch right off stir plate w/ no decant)
11lbs-2row
2lbs- flaked oats
2lbs- flaked wheat
2lbs- white wheat
1lb- Lactose (last 5 min of boil)
.5lbs- honey malt
.5lbs- crystal 10
6oz of citra, 6oz of denali, 6oz of Eldorado, 6oz of galaxy.
4ozs of each hop for a 30 minute hop stand at 180 degrees and let the temp free fall
2.02:1 chloride(17 grams) to sulfate(7grams) ratio also 3ml of lactic acid (all added to mash)
24 hours in to fermentation add 1oz of each hop.
3 vanilla beans spit, scraped, chopped, and soaked in vodka for a week.
4lbs strawberries and 2lbs peaches. (both frozen not fresh with no special treatment)
Once FG is reached and stays the same for 2 days I put the fruit (blended), vanilla bean tincture(dump all in), and 1oz of each hop in secondary (rec putting the vanilla bean tincture in first, then hops, then fruit, it seems to hold the hops down a little longer and keeps them from getting pushed to the surface) and rack beer on top through closed transfer. Let secondary sit for 5-7 days then cold crash for 48 hours. Then rack to keg through closed transfer. I carb mine at around 2.4vols of Co2.
I didn't post water amounts because everyone's system is different, so your chloride to sulfate grams might be a little different. You want to shoot for around 200ppm:100ppm
Any questions or if I missed anything feel free to ask

 

Incredible. One of my favorite beers and also everyone who I shared with loved It! Lol they keep asking me to brew it again, but I gotta knock out a few other brews first.

 

Awesome! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

 

Correct. With whirlpool and dry hop additions it should put you in the 70 ibu range

 

I use a fermonster fermenter and I bought a second screw on lid for it and modified it. I drilled 2 holes in the top where I can put drilled stoppers. In one of the stoppers I put the co2 line
in and the second hole I put a stainless steel racking cane in with tubing hooked to it with a liquid connector for the keg on the other end. That allows me to rack the beer from the top down.

 

I don't have any on hand atm, but next time I transfer I will snap some pics and upload

 

I use an empty white labs yeast bottle and put the cut up beans and scrapings in there and then fill it with vodka. basically just need enough vodka to cover everything and keep it soaked
