Hello friends,
I have only made a few NEIPAs ever. It's just not what we do at our place. We have 1 rotating IPA tap that we change up every batch (NE style, Brut, west coast, etc). My question to those with more experience is this:
I understand that some people dry hop at approx 2-3 plato above terminal gravity. Active fermentation moves hops around tank and yields better extraction etc. But, what is your yeast harvesting protocol? My concern is harvesting and re-using yeast with hops in it from dry hopping. Assuming the yeast strain used in a NEIPA would primarily be used in other "hoppy" beers maybe it's not a problem. Just curious how others have handled it.
I've harvested from the "middle" of the cone as best i can while avoiding as many hops at the same time and had good results, just curious. Thanks in advance.
