In this video my friend Cosmo and I brewed a New England IPA (NEIPA or Hazy IPA) with NO flaked grains, like oats, barley, or wheat. We then compare that to my Hop Nectar Hazy IPA I brewed a few weeks before that to see what impact it had on the beer. Check out the full recipes below!

  1. Good comparison! Another one that I would be interested in is flaked oats vs malted oats. Malted oats are not as susceptible to oxidation later on but do you sacrifice that desirable mouthfeel using malted?

  2. great comparison. I have actually stopped using dextrin malt in my beers and instead I add about 5% oats instead for head retention and mouthfeel.

  3. Very cool! I'd love to see if you'd get the same results when doing a triangle test in opaque cups. That would remove a lot of variables such as color difference and adds much less of a chance of random luck when guessing.

  4. Your buddy looks like Lonnie from the movie Deliverance 😂
    The beers look great, love a hazy ipa…i need more skill before i try one. I currently have a moose drool clone in my fermonster used wlp002 yeast.
