Brewed up my 2nd Brujos style NEIPA yesterday with a few changes... Added 1 lb maltodextrin, a 5 IBU additional 60 min, used Barbian instead of Juice, and used Motueka/Nelson/Citra 2:1:1. Really looking forward to this one after the last. 10 lb Pils 5 lb Malted oat 3 lb Wheat 3 lb Flaked oat 1...

I got a new pH meter that seems to work way better than my last one, and I'm realizing my actual pHs have been about 0.1 below my target, probably for a while. I was already aiming for 5.2 to 5.3, so I was ending up with 5.1 to 5.2. It will be interesting to see if bumping it up to actually hit...

At just over 5 weeks in the keg, this beer has gone from good to great. Previously, I was a little unsure of it because it tasted too much like hops rather than a hoppy beer. Now its tasting really nicely integrated but its still good a good saturation of flavor. I'm excited to rebrew this with...

If Brujos is finishing around 1.022, I would have had to add 1 lb (almost 5%) of maltodextrin to hit that FG in the beer I just brewed. Conceptually, I don't love the sound of that... but I can't argue with their results so I'll probably have to try at least half that amount next time.

Yeah you could probably pull off an interesting hazy with your Cashmere, Sabra & Vista. But given you only have 5 oz of hops to work with, you might want to consider brewing more of a hazy pale ale with an O.G. around 1.055. I also wouldn't count on any of those as bittering hops so you could...

Dang, well that explains why my Brujos NEIPA had my worst efficiency ever. Good to know for future brews!

Thanks man, Oregon Brew Crew Fall Classic.

Got gold in the IPA category out of 29 entries last night, my biggest win in a while! 14 lb 2 row 3 lb flaked oats 0.75 lb wheat 0.25 lb honey malt 0.5 oz Warrior 60 min (19 IBU) 2 oz Citra whirlpool (30 min 180 degrees) 2 oz Mosaic Lupomax whirlpool (30 min 180 degrees) 2 oz Amarillo...

Thanks, seems like a good method for gelatin or liquid adjuncts too!

Beautiful beer and really helpful write up, thank you! You've got me pretty pumped for my own Brujos style NEIPA that I'm soft crashing right now, and maybe to also buy some 2023 NZ hops. I'm curious, what would your process have been for adding maltodextrin post fermentation?

Off topic, but I have to give a shout out to Apera instruments for replacing my PH60 pH meter for free after 4 years despite being out of warranty and having no proof of purchase. Great customer service.

Drives me absolutely insane. The worst for me is when I get a NEIPA on tap at the brewery that tastes green with hop burn, just give it an extra week in the tank and it will be perfect!

I'm curious which Brujos beers you had. Humulus Magus is my personal favorite NEIPA I've ever had. Ad Arma and Magos del Subterranneo were really good too but a little intense for me in terms of strength and southern hemisphere/dank character. Really cool to try, but not every day beers. 7% to...

Yeah it does go against a lot of conventional knowledge, like I'd be going out of my way to make a mistake that new home brewers usually make. That's also why it really stood out to me, I wish I knew more of the reason behind it. I usually mash at 5.2, so I'll probably compromise today with 5.3...

Hey guys I'm looking for thoughts on the water profile for my Brujos style NEIPA. My Portland tap water is extremely soft, practically distilled. I'm struggling to find a way to hit 250 ppm chloride without going under a mash pH of 5.5. I can either 2.5 g of baking soda or mash at 5.3. Any thoughts?

Working on my own Brujos style recipe to brew this weekend. 10 lb Pils (50%) 5 lb Malted oat (25%) 3 lb Wheat (15%) 2 lb Flaked oat (10%) 2 oz Citra WP @ 170 2 oz Citra Lupo WP @ 170 10 oz Citra DH 2 oz Citra Lupo DH 155 mash 5.5 mash ph Imperial Juice maybe ~100:250 cacl Hoping for a 7.5%...

Just kegged my all time favorite NEIPA recipe with one very small change. This recipe got me two of my three highest scores ever (40 & 42.5). After a lot of experimenting this summer with mixed results, I had to go back to what I know. The only change I made was replacing 1 oz of Galaxy with 1...

Yep he's just recently made a few NEIPA cans available to the public for the first time, the last few were brewed and sold at Living Haus. They just announced the physical brewery/taproom space for Brujos in Portland which will start doing can releases in October and open to the public in spring...

@Dgallo Brujos Brewing, the hot new brewer in Portland who made the best NEIPA I've ever had, is our in your neck of the woods doing collabs with Fiden's and Root & Branch. Keep an eye out, I'd love to hear how they are!
