West Coast Pils and IPA, the Green Cheek Way

In this 57-minute video course, Price explains their iterative approach to constantly tinkering while brewing great West Coast pils, IPA, and double IPA. Along the way he covers:

• water profiles, pH, and the West Coast palate
• monitoring pH and adjusting throughout the brewing process
• the endless journey of dialing in bitterness
• adjusting salts and acids to adjust the perception of bitterness
• dry hops, finishing, and preventing hop creep
• the elements of West Coast pils
• what spelt and Carafoam can do for a hop-forward lager
• leaning into Simcoe T-90s and CO2 extract for bitterness
• the recent evolution of West Coast IPA
• the role of dextrose in a sneaky IPA
• making the most of limited whirlpool additions
• building a leaner, meaner double IPA
• increasing the sulfite ratio to dry out bigger IPAs
• fermenting the double IPA dry—but not too dry
• selecting hops to drive cannabis and citrus character
