  • Excellent overview of brewing NE Style IPAs

    I enjoyed the information and I was really interested to see the BiaB used for the demo since that is what I use in my brewing. I liked the details on the pH, malts, water chemistry, etc. I certainly picked up some tips that I will use when I attempt this style.

  • Very valuable, thanks

    I've brew NEIPA's successfully but upgraded equipment to larger size and now I'm struggling to understand why I'm getting different results in my final product. Your course has given me more insight and knowledge and my frustration has turned into excitement as I get ready to continue to dial this in again. Thanks and keep these courses coming!
