Good standard Hazy. Similar to No.7. Natural carbonation captured via spunding — kegged with no CO2 addition.
About This Beer
Eighth in Owen’s Hazy IPA series, brewed 20 November 2025. A well-dialled template he returns to with minor refinements each time, and this one follows the same structure as No. 7: American Ale as the base, Munich for body and colour, malted oats and flaked wheat for haze and mouthfeel, Aurora for a touch of warmth. Verdant IPA throughout.
Citra carries the hop character across the boil and a day-5 dry hop. Taiheke does the whirlpool at 80°C, adding a softer citrus-tropical layer underneath.
Fermentation
19°C under light pressure, 3 to 4 psi, for the first five days. Temperature raised to 21.5°C and the spunding valve closed on day 11, then cooled to 8°C over days 11 to 14, finishing at 14 psi.
