I've done it in less than that and it was great!

Brewing this today Kal - you didn't put the oats through the grinder did you? Also, I couldnt get 1318 locally so will be using 002 and maybe a bit of S04. Thoughts?

System holding nicely at 152º

Nope. There's no need to mill flaked stuff.

I've used WLP002 before on beers like this and it's nice and works well. Haven't tried S04 on these sorts of beers however.

I've always prefered WLP002 over S04 for English styles and I'd expect the same here but you never know...

I may do a Frankenstein between the two yeasts - we'll see. I don't typically run the oats in the grinder either - figured I'd ask though. Question on the final hops charge - I take it you split the 6 ozs of hops in two and put them in a hops screen for 3 days in the bright tank, then pull them, carb and serve?

All 6 oz go into the fermenter (I happen to do it 2 x 5 gallon so yep - it's split). They get added loose to the brite tank, left in for 3 days, then beer is racked to purged kegs and chilled/carbed/served.

So you are 7-8 days in primary, 3 days in Secondary, and then in the brite tank and carbing and serving?

Regarding the 1318, made a yeast starter yesterday and came downstairs this morning and it seems my starter got a bit over excited. It creeped it's way over the top and made itself a little gap in the tin foil. Didn't explode or anything, but I did lose some. My question is, do I still have enough to pitch? Should I throw another packet in just for assurance or would that be overkill? Don't want to underpitch this so the dry hops have plenty of yeast to play with! Thanks all!

No.

7-8 days primary with dry hops #1 -> 3 days brite tank with dry hops #2 -> keg

Check out the notes section for more details:

Quote:

Pitch yeast and ferment at 68F (wort temperature). I use stainless fermenting buckets in wine fridges.
Assuming you did not underpitch the yeast, after 24 hours you should be at high krausen (highest point of foaming). Add dry hops #1 directly to the fermenter.
Continue to ferment at 68F (wort temperature) until at approximately 1.020 (5 points from final gravity) and then raise the temperature to 70-72F until finished. In my case I simply turn off the fermenting fridges and allow the wort to temperature to naturally rise to room temperature. Fermentation should be complete in about 7-8 days total.
Rack to CO2 purged brite tanks (I like to use two 5 gallon glass carboys) and add dry hops #2. Do not use finings such as gelatin.
After 3 days in the brite tanks package as you would normally. I rack to CO2 purged kegs and carbonate on the low side (around 2 volumes of CO2) to minimize carbonic bite and let the fruity hop and subtle malt flavours shine through. I chill the kegs to near freezing while carbonating at the same time in a 6-keg conditioning fridge. After ~1-2 weeks the kegs will be carbonated and ready to serve. Like all hop forward beers this NEIPA is best consumed fresh and young.


Good luck!

Kal

That's a tough question to answer without pictures or context I'm afraid. How much do you think was lost?

I'm not sure how big the original starter was or how much of that 100-150ml was yeast vs wort, but it doesn't sound like a lot so I doubt it's going to have much of an effect. Good luck!

It was a 2L starter and a lot of the stuff I cleaned up was definitely yeast so I'm thinking I might just throw another packet in the fermenter when I pitch. Any danger of overpitching?

I would not be concerned with over pitching.

A very standard:

5.2 to 5.4 when measured in the mash temperature range of somewhere around 145-165F.
5.4 to 5.6 if the sample has been cooled to room temperature.

For complete details, see my Water Adjustment article:

Now that said, you could probably target the higher end of the range to get a beer that is rounder/more full instead of sharp, but I've always gone for the lower end. This is one of those things where there's no right answer as it deals with flavour which is subjective, and I'll be honest and say I haven't done a ton of comparison brews where all I varied was mash pH. Good luck!
