After brewing a stretch of very heavy beers, I'm ringing in the Spring with a simple IPA (Citra and Cascade; for Brewbeque)

I did a ~7 gallon batch, and I'm fermenting half with S04 and the other half with US05

Simple American Wheat with some honey malt and El Dorado bittering hops, late hopped with US Azacca and NZ Motueka. The wheat was Weyermann Floor-Malted Bohemian Wheat Malt. Part of their heirloom series. It's some of the random stuff I picked up in the Rebel Brewer leftovers sale.

Double NEIPA
El Dorado, Denali and Ekuanot Hops. Minimal boil additions, extended whirlpool, then ran through an oz of cascade in the hopback on the way to the fermenter. Heavy dry hopping in its future. Destination: UpCup

Did you try low boil on your NEIPA. That's what I found to be best leaving hazy proteins. When I get home I post picture of my Neipa see if it's hazy enough for ya

I did not. I also did not ferment under pressure.

I just kegged it so I'm going to re-evaluate after a few days. I am now skeptical about dry hoping during active fermentation though.

The ferment under pressure in my opinion is Bullsh*t for a NEipa. Jamil Zanichief words too. Very few styles benefit from pressure fermenting most often a Belgian style will control different esters. The low boil and left over proteins will get you that hazy effect needed for style. On your hop aroma from dry hoping while fermenting did you add them after primary was almost finished. This is just my opinion on adding hops while fermenting. In a scientific out look of the hops and oils/compounds aromas. While dry hoping during the time of fermentation you have positive and negative compounds your hops positive and the co2 negative they attach to each other and the aromas are getting expelled with the co2.
