Glen Rycroft Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi all, Very excited to have finally received my BeerDroid today! I have a couple of BrewPrints which I can get started with but looking to place an order for some more BrewPrints to keep a rolling brew production going. Looking for advice from other members if there are any NEIPA style BrewPrints available. Thanks, Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hey Mate , welcome on board. Enjoy the brewing fun.. as for NEIPA there isnt too many from the brewprints, the Pineapple Crush is probably the most like what your chasing and can add more or less juice ( or throw Mango juice in the droid instead of Pineapple). Its a tasty beverage though and worth a try. If you scroll around the page there is the Shemsheet which has a few interesting custom brews including a Jedi Juice clone, havent done this yet , but has the oat to make it cloudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the “Shem sheet” a great aid. https://community.brewart.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=427 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Rycroft Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Many thanks Mark and Paul. I will try the Pineapple Crush as my 2nd brew I think. Getting ready to put down Jolly Roger Pale as my 1st brew today and looking forward to that. Cheers for the Shem Sheet - will definitely try a couple on the list once I have some experience under my belt (completely new to brewing). Thanks again, appreciate your input.

A great first choice of brew. Take your time with every step of the process and please don't hesitate to ask any questions along the way. This forum is a fantastic resource and rarely will you be the first person to experience a particular issue. Patience and persistence really pays off with this system. You will be pleasantly surprised at just how good your beer turns out. Cheers! Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Rycroft Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi Nick, Thanks for the welcome. Have been reading the forums for a couple of months since I found the BeerDroid and had noticed that you guys are always super helpful. Droid cleanse finished just over an hour ago and first brew put into the Droid and started. Looking forward to following the progress on the app. I have the BrewFlow system also and will be following your tip from another thread about sanitizing multiple keg caps to hopefully have one which attaches easily to the keg liner. Have to admit after reading other member's experiences I'm a little concerned about how I'll go connecting the cap to the liner but will see what happens when I get to that stage.

It's probably the trickiest process in this system but I believe the results make the learning curve and initial frustrations worthwhile. Draught beer at home without requiring beer gas and in a small user (read: wife) friendly format. What's not to like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Agree with above . The keg liner is the hardest bit but perseverance is key . Rob's video is great although still wizardry lol. The brewflo is a great system and pouring your own beer is great. If you bottle get a capper and go that way ( or swing tops ... but dont play with the plastic ones , i gave them up quickly lol ) Havent done the Jolly Roger though will be done very soon in my house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 In regards to NEIPA couldn’t you just vary an IPA brewprint and use either Y2 or Y6 yeast to get some hazy and other flabours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Id agree with the Y2 yeast . But for a NEIPA i would think a healthy hopping to bring that fruity flavor out. I am planning to make a Pineapple crush in the next couple of brews and plan to dry hop with a couple of exotic hops ( ill let the cat out of the bag soon haha ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know which way you go with hops. I may need to copy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what has been preventing me from brewing it yet. I want to find some really good stuff. Organic, low/no added sugar etc. Probably relatively easy to get here in Radelaide; just need to go to the right fancy IGA supermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 So last time i just did a Golden Circle pineapple juice from the juice section at coles ( i am in a country town so struggle to find the hipster corner store with the fresh squeezed pineapple juice ) . Turned out well. Not the hugest pineapplely taste , but a great beer. However , this time I am gonna see my hipster mate who lives on a corner block to squeeze me some fresh juice. And also use Bru-1 hops ( along side others) ( cats out the bag) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard of that one. Big pineapple flavours; perfect for this brew. I’ve got a lot of hops in the freezer at the moment but not that one. May have to find a supplier. 😏 Edited February 26, 2021 by Dustin Frothman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J P Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 NEIPA. OK here goes. this one is off droid in a standard fermenter. BUT: 1. Coopers IPA can 2. 1Kg LME Coopers enhancer 3. 2L golden circle mango nectar 4. 2L Oats milk (couldn’t be bothered with boiling oat flakes etc) above diluted to 20 L (not 23) I imagine in a droid this would be half of everything it’ll ferment at room temp (22-28) and I’ll do it old school with monitoring SG in about a week. it looks cloudy and rich and tastes nice and can’t imagine it NOT being an awesome brew. A little skeptical But surely will keep ya posted. 🤙🏽 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 3 hours ago, J P said: it’ll ferment at room temp (22-28) I may be wrong but my understanding with an NEIPA is to add the yeast and start the fermentation at about 18C then slowly increasing to 21/22C over the next few days, a 1C increase per day which can be easily done with the droid?

I don't have any experience brewing NEIPAs so still a bit to learn there. I like the look of this recipe that was posted on the Facebook user group: Quote 1.5kg of light DME brought to a boil in 5L of water. At the boil I added 20g of Galaxy hops. 300g of flaked oats boiled in a seperate pot and strained into wort. At 80 degrees I added 25g mosaic, 15g Nelson sauvin, 15g galaxy for 20-30mins then let cool. Added the wort to the beerdroid at room temperature, and filled to 10L with water. Pitched with US05 yeast. Day 3 dry hopped with 25g mosaic, 20g galaxy, 15g Nelson sauvin, 25g enigma. When fermentation was completed dry hopped again with 25g mosaic and cold crashed for 2 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Paul84 in Pt Hedland, room temp 35C +? Rob at Mt Gambier?

I'm not sure if that one was brewed at room temperature. I think the brewer is just referring to having cooled the wort before adding to the Droid. They don't specify which brewing program they use but I'd guess the default 'Ale' program with the Dry Hop function enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
