Makes 5 gallons (approximately 48–54 bottles) of New England IPA
Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
Hazy New England–style IPA
Juicy, low-bitterness hop profile
The quickest one to the glass
S-04 ferments fast and drops out fast, so this is the version you will be drinking first. It gives a cleaner, more conventional finish under a very large dry hop charge. If you want the haze at its most stubborn, WLP066 will hold it longer.
Ferment at 64-79°F
Attenuation 74-82%
Flocculation High
Fast, fruity, clears well
Juicy, hazy, and built for the style
Juice amplifies modern hop aroma so the beer tastes bigger than its parts, and it holds haze without any help from you, which is precisely what the style is after. It is a hungry fermenter that climbs hard in the first few days.
Ferment at 64-74°F
Attenuation 72-76%
Flocculation Medium
Juicy and hazy
Pineapple, grapefruit and velvet
London Fog brings pineapple and ruby red grapefruit of its own on top of the dry hops, plus residual sweetness and a genuinely velvety mouthfeel. Low to medium flocculation keeps the haze exactly where the style wants it.
Ferment at 64-72°F
Attenuation 75-82%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Pineapple and velvet
The softest, juiciest body
1318 is the hazy IPA benchmark, light and fruity with a soft finish that leaves the body juicy IPAs are built on. It finishes slightly sweet, which gives the dry hop charge something to sit on, and it is the one strain here that both holds that softness and drops reasonably bright.
Ferment at 64-74°F
Attenuation 71-75%
Flocculation High
Soft, fruity, slightly sweet
The maltiest take on a hazy
1968 leaves more malt behind than any other option here, so this version carries real sweetness under the hops and drinks closer to an English IPA wearing a modern hop bill. It also drops bright quickly, which is unusual for the style.
Ferment at 64-72°F
Attenuation 67-71%
Flocculation High
Malty and sweet finishing

Flavor Profile & Beer Style
The New England IPA is a modern, hop-forward style known for intense aroma and low perceived bitterness. Heavy dry hopping delivers tropical fruit, citrus, and stone fruit notes, while flaked grains contribute a soft, creamy mouthfeel.
This beer finishes smooth and easy-drinking, emphasizing hop flavor and aroma rather than sharp bitterness.

How the Brewing Process Works
Brewing your New England IPA follows a hop-forward, haze-focused brewing process:
Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops during the hopstand for flavor without harsh bitterness
Ferment: Ferment with ale yeast until stable and aromatic
Optional Step: Dry hop during fermentation to build juicy aroma and hop saturation
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
Proper dry hop timing and gentle handling help preserve haze and maximize tropical hop character.
New to Liquid Yeast?
Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.
Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.
