No, its def not a straight west coast. Id say its a British/West coast hybrid w a color at the high end of those styles approaching a red IPA. The hops are the only thing 100% west coast. Id never use the Verdant solo for this. But like i mentioned im only lookin to use about 1/3 a packet of Verdant along with a fresh wlp 007 cake which has been drying up my IPAs just fine for me. Im also already mashing at 150 and using whirlfloc.If you’re really interested in making a west coast IPAs, I wouldn’t suggest verdant. Leaves too much body in my opinion for trying to make a crisp beer.
Now if that doesn’t bother you and you just really want to use verdant, mash lower, say 148-150*f. Use hotside finings like whirlfloc and then cold side finings, use biofine. I use it at 4-5 ml per gallon if I want it really clear. View attachment 846244
