They do have a coconut craft puree. I just used it in a NEIPA that I hopped with Sabro and Bru-1. I used 10 oz. by weight (1/3 bottle) added to the keg. It's amazing. I'm going to have a hard time keeping this one on draft.

I used 8 oz (by weight...roughly 1/3 of a bottle) of their Blood Orange craft puree in a slightly hoppy wheat I brewed back in June. It came out great and was a crowd favorite. I still have some on tap and while its completely dropped bright and you can't tell it's a wheat, the flavor is still...

I don't get it...if these guys were my neighbors my wife would be pissed because I'd be hanging with them drinking beers all night instead of watching Grey's Anatomy on the couch with her! It's my favorite segment.

I’m on week 7 of my NEIPA and it’s almost perfectly clear. The last keg only lasted about 3.5 weeks. The beer has changed in mouthfeel and even flavor. But while it’s no longer “hazy” it’s still a total juice bomb and still deliscous and better than anything at the store I can get my hands on...

I just bought one of these. https://www.brewhardware.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CCguardianV2 Sure it's $12 for $2 worth of material, but someone did all the work for me :) I've done a TON of brews without one and always use a blow-off and I've never (at least to my observation) have...

Do yourself a favor and get a 3 gallon carboy and don't waste time on 1 gallon batches. I get starting small, but it's the same amount of work to do 2-2.5 gallon batches and maybe a few bucks more. Even for 1 gallon, you're still spending $7 on liquid yeast and you'll either drastically...

I'll echo what some others have said. You need to do your research on all grain brewing. Before I ever did my first brew and was saving up to buy some equipment, I read and watched a LOT of YouTube. Unlike most people, I went straight to all-grain as extract brewing never excited me. I like...

1 degree celsius isn't going to make a significant difference. My guess was a lack of O2 or older yeast that needed some encouragement. I've never had a beer take that long to ferment though. Maybe try a different yeast supplier. I didn't see any info on what yeast you used. You only...

I wonder if the type of hops matter. All my keg additions have been mostly cryo hops...which by nature don't offer up the grassy vegetal notes people experience. I too am extremely paranoid of the O2 risk for these NEIPAs. That's why my late addition hops go into a purged (just CO2...not...

Dang!! That's almost my EXACT schedule! Produces some of the best smelling and tasting IPA's I've ever made. I've also switched to using cryo hops for all my late addition and dry hopping when I can find it. This most recent one I'm kegging tomorrow has cryo Mosaic and Citra and Amarillo Hop...

I really miss Scott's (Bertus Brewery) blog. He had some serious knowledge and some very good recipes and documentation. Been near 18 months since he posted anything so I guess life just got in the way.

Few of my recent brews: Grapefruit IPA Citrus pale ale West Coast style red.

I LOVE IPA...and cigars...just not together. Gotta go with a stout or porter...or better yet...whisky :) Great pic though

Converted 7 cu. ft. chest freezer with chalkboard paint. Made a bottom stand on casters to move it, not realizing when it's full...this thing ain't going anywhere :)...splurged for the Perlicks.

Yup. Helped a lot...thanks.
