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.
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?
I had the ascorbic acid to the mash which really helps with oxidation. I actually haven't used malted oats in a hazy before so I can't say for sure. Might be a good one to do in the future for sure!
It's hard to compare right away because the beer will be fresh right away... Especially if you take extra precautions to eliminate exposure to oxygen. The ascorbic acid helps prevent oxidation immediately for those who aren't super careful, but also preserves the beer longer term... So I'd have to keep some for a while and have a comparison after a few months of being on tap even.
What about using base malt + flaked wheat only, or flaked oats Or flaked barley only ? Some people say that haze doesnt last to much if they use only flaked oats.
Most of the haze Actually comes from the yeast choice. Yeast companies such as white labs, do tests with only base malts and different yeast strains. Short answer is you can definitely use flaked wheat in place of flight oats. I prefer the flavor of flaked oats and the fact that is generally cheaper. 🍻
One thing about the London Fog yeast being low flocculation, and therefore being good for hazy ipa. I do not think you want yeast in suspension to be contributing to your haze. The haze should come from polyphenol-protein complexes. I use high flocculating yeasts because I wasn't originally able to cold crash, and I still get hazy NEIPA
Do you have a video that explains all the different types of beers. I learned from you what a smash was .I am old. We just beer or malt liquor like what constitutes an IPA ETC
The styles are defined in the beer judge certification program or BJCP. You can look up the style definitions, characteristics like and taste, color, and everything at www.bjcp.org
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.

This was kind of cool so I will be doing more of these type of videos in the future! Definitely will be doing some blind in solo cups
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.
Yeah 💯 oats work great in hazy ipas, porters, stouts, and different styles for sure. 🍻
Good comparison gents!
Thanks. It was interesting for sure

Nice comparison. Im curious about the ascorbic acid. I was just telling Cosmo you need to do a comparison with and without.

Nice! Sounds delicious. The Hazy IPAs aren't that hard. Just follow the directions in the video and you'll make an awesome one! 🍻
