Some people say to add the juice at the 3 day mark and others at the start. I’d probably stick with at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the first beers I had done. I added the pineapple at the start and I was not dissapointed with the flavor though it didnt scream pineapple at me. I have bought some Bru-1 hops to dry hop this so 🤞🤞🤞. My question is gonna be what do you boys think would be the best way to get the best out of these hops? I might do 2 stage dry hopping at like day 5 and 8 . Or happy to leave this in the droid for a bit after EOF to hop this. Also tempted to do a blend of hops with the Galaxy hops that are supposed to go in. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BRU-1 and Galaxy hops will be a top combination. The recipe predicts EOF 6 to 9 days. I like your idea of staging the hops. I’d put the Bru-1 in at 5 days and the Galaxy 2 days later however if EOF happens on day 6 put them in then and leave the brew in keg mode for 48hrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking a heavy hopping probably between 30-50gr of each. What do you think @Captain 3 Droids ? Want this a punchy fruity hopped beer 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 So this went in the droid last night. The juice is straight in and will dry hop in a few days ( waiting on the BRU-1 but i am hoping it will be here in a couple of days to be ready lol ) . Set up the sandwich bag in advance as i knew it would be a healthy brew, and i dont think i was wrong as it started this afternoon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Just cracking one now. Is it the pineapple juice that gives it that sweet taste? As you can't really taste the pineapple juice. What it you brewed this without the pineapple juice? I hopped this with 80g of Citra the perfect hop for this. Cheers. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mate , i have stuck with the traditional pineapple juice. Alot of people say to add it after 3 days and you get more of a juicy hit. I am gonna DH mine with the Galaxy as pwr recipe and also some BRU-1 hops that I bought. The BRU-1 hops add citrus to it and a pinepple aroma that I am hoping will lend itself to the drink. Will tell you in 10 weeks time 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon 100g of citra is “too much”? I’m just about to reach DH stage on this one. Added the juice at day 3 of fermentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 I reckon a 100g of Citra would be awesome. Can never have to much. I only had 80g left when I did mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Ok this is is dry hopped and doing its job . 50g of citra ( from the brewprint ) and through 30gr of the BRU-1 hops in 🤞🤞🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dial-IN Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Anyone tried doubling down on the pineapple, with 2L instead? Many have said the pineapple is a little subdued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using a wire frame crafted from a coat hanger but its a bit fiddly to attach the bag and then to attach it all to the Droid. I will try the pegs next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltham Brauhaus Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Yes it it pretty robust. The weak point is the actual plastic insert. My last eruption filled the insert to about a 1/3rd from its base and caused the insert to split. Need to consider a stronger bag as the inserts are problematical.
