Homebrew Crisp New England IPA (NEIPA) Recipe

  • Juice driven with a creamy body
  • ABV 6.5%
  • IBU 15
  • OG 1062 SG

This New England IPA (NEIPA) homebrew recipe is designed to deliver the juicy hop character, soft mouthfeel and stable haze that define the style, with the addition of 10% Naked Oat Malt. This provides body and turbidity, but we also utilize our polyphenol-free malt to reduce the likelihood of oxidative darkening of the beer when packaged.

Clear Choice® Ale Malt, Malted Wheat and Naked Oat Malt combine to produce a smooth, full-bodied beer with excellent haze stability and reduced oxidative darkening during packaging.

Mike'S TOP TIP

Clear Choice® Ale Malt helps reduce oxidative darkening during packaging and storage, allowing your New England IPA to retain its bright appearance and fresh hop character for longer.

Malts used in this Beer Recipe

Crisp Naked Oat Malt has become a stalwart in NEIPA recipes. We malt naturally naked oats to increase potential extract. Naked Oat Malt adds a lovely creaminess and mouthfeel in all beer styles and is especially suited to juicy hop bombs and heavy beers. They also impart a toasted, biscuit aroma and palate.

Oats are high in β-glucan, and for both brewing and baking uses, Naked Oat Malt can contribute beta-glucans (soluble fiber) to add an extra property.

If run-off is a concern at higher addition rates, mix 50/50% with our Flaked Torrefied Oats.
