Shoddy IPA

Brewed: 09/10/2023   Kegged: 09/17/2023

In the summer of 2023, I still had not brewed a (purposely) Hazy IPA (BJCP Style 21C.).

I had lots of really nice hops in the freezer and it was on my "Roll-a-Style" list. I decided that I should go ahead and brew the style.


I have noticed that generally, the beers that I do short boils on have been more hazy .. so I decided to design the recipe using my modified "Short and Shoddy" process.

In this case, I decided to do an overnight mash and 15 minute boil, shoving lots of Eclipse, Citra, Mosaic, and Talus hops in that short timeframe.

I'd also add lots of Eclipse, Citra, Mosaic, and Talus hops into the dry hop.

For quick turn-around, I went with Voss Kveik Ale Yeast fermented in hot August temperatures.

This is that recipe.



The beer turned out great. I'm not necessarily a fan of ugly looking beers like this one, but the hop flavor and aroma turned out perfect.

Lots of tropical fruit citrus aroma and flavor. Nice soft "pillowy" mouth feel. Everything that I like about the style. Fun to drink.

Just ugly looking.

Someday I'd like to brew this recipe as a clear IPA.

Bought ingredients at Tom's. Brewing Sunday (probably)
09/10/2023 esheppy
Brew day went well. Overnight mash. Up at 5am. Pitched before 6:30am. Yeast was chugging away before noon. Smelling lots of hop aroma at 7pm in the garage.
09/11/2023 esheppy
Hot and heavy fermentation done by the next morning. Temp strip says 84. I think the garage is now cooler than my basement, so I'm moving it inside. Will dry hop later today or tomorrow.
09/11/2023 esheppy
1st round of dry hop is in there.
09/17/2023 esheppy
Kegged. 1.010 FG. Great hop flavor. Certainly hazy. Chilling now.
09/19/2023 esheppy
Right on style. Wonderful juicy hop flavor and aroma with hardly any bitterness. Soft pillowy mouthfeel. Persistent haziness so far, in fact it is actually the ugly cloudy that I dislike visually in some NEIPA's, but it is hard to be disappointed when the flavor is so perfect.

Took the photo for the web page. Looks ugly-hazy, and tastes juicy with a pillowy mouth feel, so I feel like I succeeded in brewing this style. I'd like to try to brew this recipe without the haze. What should I call that IPA?
09/28/2023 esheppy
Wonderful hop flavor and aroma. I think this is the only beer I've ever wanted to keep hazy. So far I'm successful.

Keg blew last night. Didn't last long at all. Need to drink in more moderation. But, hazy IPAs should be consumed fresh. Stayed hazy over the couple of weeks it was on tap, so that's good I guess.
