This imperial New England-style IPA has a silky mouthfeel from generous oat and spelt additions, and a massive hop aroma due to massive late-hop additions and kveik yeast.

2.25 lbs. (1 kg) Weyermann Carafoam®  malt

Step by step
This is a single step infusion mash at 152 °F (67 °C) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf and sparge as usual to collect 6.5 gallons (24.6 L) of wort. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the first hop addition as the wort comes to a boil. Add the flameout hops at the end of the boil. Create a whirlpool and let settle for 10 minutes. Then cool the wort to 175 °F (79 °C) and add the hopstand addition and whirlpool for 10 minutes before cooling down to 80 °F (27 °C). 

Aerate, pitch yeast, and let temperature free rise to 100 °F (38 °C) during fermentation. The first dry hop additions should be added at about 24 hours at peak of fermentation. The second dry hop additions should be added on day five. Keep the beer on the hops for three more days then package as normal. Kegging is preferred.
