No, only certain breweries are known for not filtering their beers. Sierra, Nevada and Bell's are two of the biggest ones, but there are several more. Just because it's hazy doesn't mean they don't filter.. The haze comes from the yeast more than anything.
What mash pH were you running at? Did you need to make any adjustments? I don't suppose they were telling you in the recipe? If theirs was lower might account for the darker colour on theirs
Mash pH was 5.3 but that should affect the color that much. I do use salt additions, but that's going to be depending on your water profile. That also shouldn't mess with the color. My guess is they use a pale malt that has a slightly higher lovibond (SRM) rating which could make it a bit darker.
I thought that at first as well... But all of the cans that I tried were like that and it didn't taste like cardboard... It could be something like that, but it could be that their real recipe has a slightly different grain Bill, or that the grain they use has a bit higher lovibond rating. Every other beer I've cloned from their recipes came out looking exactly the same so it was odd for me too.
I think harvesting the yeast from a commercial beer will be my next experiment! Great video, cheers 🍻
Can't wait to brew this! Another informative video! Thanks for putting the recipe below i write all of those down!
🍻 glad to help!
Cool tap handles!
Thanks! A buddy of mine made them out of countertop material and surprised me with them! They are super cool! 🤘💯
Bootlegging yeast is so interesting and cool! Are all hazy IPAs not filtered and would be able to harvest from?

Solid vid dude
Thanks!!🍻🤘
When do you put ascorbic acid during the mash? 60 min? 30 min? 15 min?
Right away for full mash time. 60 mins

Real one looks oxidised
