How did the beers taste!?! I feel like any brewing video is incomplete without either a tasting of the brew at the end or a follow up video of the tasting.
Hey great video guys I'm actually brewing a grapefruit IPA right now and am fixing to move to secondary. How did the batch with the purée work out for ya? I've heard that citrus that's fermented tastes no good, did you notice that?
It actually turned out great! The grapefruit variation of this brew earned a gold medal in the Heart of Cascadia homebrew competition and a silver medal at the Oregon Homebrew Festival. From our experience, the secrets adding big citrus flavor to a beer are A) adding fruit in secondary, B) including both peel and flesh/juice, but C) not including any pith (the bitter white stuff between the peel and flesh). Good luck with your brew! Let us know how it turns out :)
Cool guys, but can I make a suggestion? When using grain especially pouring it out, it would be a good idea to wear a mask especially if you do it on a regular bases. Constant exposure to such dust can cause lung problems like emphysema in later life.
I made some Mango IPA’s and just wanted to clarify that you do not achieve a good result if you put the fruit in the primary, put it in the secondary when you don’t boil for example citrus peel.
😂 I didn't even realize I said that until I was editing! Alex noticed right away and even subtly made a comment making fun of me (that part didn't make it in the video), but I STILL didn't catch on! It may have to be my signature catchphrase
Ehhh not really. It was brewed mainly because the first breweries that were in close proximity to the East India Trading company ports so the sailors would take barrels of it along. They were hoppier as a general style but were later found out to survive the journey better so that style got popularized. So technically it's European.
awesome! thanks for sharing. Great video.
I'm watching this in my dressing room before the show. I'm thirsty now...

How did the puree vs non purée versions taste ? Any noticeable differences ion aroma, taste, clarity?

I thought I had everything I want for homebrewing, but now I want chickens.
"brew that we beered"
Signature catchphrase?

NEIPA's > All other IPA's ...IMO...
Surely the land of IPA is Indian :-D
