Great looking brew day and the beer you were drinking looks top notch. Liking the sound of the grapefruit coming through. Hope you had a great Christmas. All the best to you and your family for the 2025. Cheers mate 🍻

Nice sounding beer that. I’m really pleased to hear that the tropical England hops are not only comparable but better is some ways to the hops from further afield. I’m hoping to incorporate more UK hops going forward so this is good to hear. Cheers!

great video Rick i still have my Tropical England hops but need to empty my keg of lager first lol maybe brew end of January Happy new year mate

Great timing, I have both the England tropical and the C hop mixes from CML to use in brews next year so some great ideas of what i will be getting

Another great video Rick! 🍻

Brewing, its the new golf. Cheers mate great video.

Thought this was going to be more of a hop bomb than it was which would suit me fine...seems in great nick. Happy New Year Rick👍🎅🍺

Citra, chinook, cascasde etc . . . It will be a beer with a very herbaceous taste

After the D DAY ... Now the B Day (brewing-day)

Happy New Year Rick - here's so 2025 !!!!!!!!!! Love Stewy x

Looks nice!! Cheers mate! Happy new year 🎉🍻smooth sailing!

Yank here, I am also mostly half-lit. I recently ordered some of this drop stuff for a Spiced Hard Cider that I'm making (we specify the good stuff from the kid stuff here, hence "hard"). I started entirely too late for it to be of any good this year. Such is life. Anyway, I have those same bottles (the thrill of life with those), and thanks to your video here, I now know what to shoot for; between 1-2 drops. Thanks, dude.

Fine Rick ? Merry Christmas and to all your family. I will make a video about a tasting of a beer whose brewing is ephemeral. Video scheduled for 12/25/2024. My Brewing Friendships.

Glad your liked the beers, The yellow snows an odd one the only real stoutness is the water profile and maybe the body from the oats and wheat, odd but I liked it. With the Citra mac im wondering if a little oxygen got into the bottle I find that really increases the blueberry flavour. Thanks for the reviews, cheers 🍻

Well done Pat! Two excellent and very interesting beers👍 Well done Rick for reviewing them in your brilliant way❤️ I thought the second one looked like a Krug Champagne and probably tasted better👍 I hope you both have a lovely Christmas🍺🍷🥃

Blimey those bubbles were going round the houses like a lava lamp. Clear as a bell. Think i prefer the first one though..Good brewer that Pat fella👍🍺

second beer Looks like Champagne. 🤣

Hello my BREW-ther Rick ! cheers

I've never seen a beer so light and effervescent. Bubbles for days!

Nice job Rick! Don’t brew as many Hazys these days but they are a delight when all the stars align. Ps, are Brookesey and Callaby sharing Polo shirts these days 😂🍻

Bit late catching up on this video..... Awesome job!!! That beer looks just as good, if not better than some commercials. It is so good to see fellow homebrewers get excited and be proud of their beers! Well done 👍🏾

Hello Rick ! Fine ? No Advent Calendar for christmas this year ?

Wow it really does look like orange juice. Excellent result, Im delighted your first NEIPA wasnt bad, thats a real hope killer. Im very much on the 'as it happens' video bandwagon, these are essentially, what we used to call back in the day, video diaries. I find these infinitely more interesting than the other stuff. Dont forget to send Brooksey some beermail, a tube under the tap works fine. First class guaranteed next day 👍

Brilliant video Rick and what an outstanding drink you brewed. A lot of effort went into that, it produced a great result 🍺

Hi Rick looks amazing beer I can’t get my head around making this too complicated for me but have had a few pints of this Neipa and it is delicious

Not a style of beer I like but it looks awesome. I hope you don't use your gut feelings at work🤪 Your excitement make watching your videos extra special!

Saturated is a cracking yeast. Fast becoming a house yeast in my brewhouse.

Fantastic G2G mate. So pleased the NEIPA turned out so well. Looks as good any you can buy from the big boys. Very nice of Rich to send you the hops. Cheers 🍻

Awesome Rick!! That looks quite juicy Mate!!!🍻smooth sailing!

What a great episode mate, watched every second of it with excitement! So nice to see all the work, attention and passion going in to one of these beers. Sometimes we all take it as granted with all the great options out there, but in fact it needs a lot to have a great brew at the end. Well done! Now brew a 3 NEIPA 😁

There is nothing better than cracking the NEIPA code. Great job, and it looks the business! Well done👌👍,it's a great community and help is always at hand. Another great vlog in the bag!

Good job getting through that. Loved the tasting section, almost felt like you were accepting an award for a bit there 😁😁 Totally agree on the trub dump, never see the need on a home brewing scale. We don't have the compression from such a high head pressure, causing heat issues like the big pro tanks. I've left beer sitting on yeast for six or seven weeks, no issue. Great job, looks lovely. 👍👍

Another great video Did you use the full 1 kg of Maltodextrin or stick to the recipe ? I😂❤

Rick another great video as always, people like yourself, @Oysterboys, @GingerBrewers are all a great help to those of us who think of trying to do a particular brew/beer but are not sure how to go about it and show us important snippets of what to do, please keep up the good work and ignore the negative and discouraging comments

Who's a happy bunny then😂..that looks a solid fruity number. I like to see a brewer so proud of his end product, nice one Rick🍺👍

Thx. So my question with using Star san to ratio. Does foam go halfway down the street? cheers.

Any chance of sharing the recipe, I am a fan of NEIPA

Nice one mate, cracked it!

That looks cracking Rick. Well done. I can smell it from here...😂 Cheers 🍻

Looks fantastic Rick! Cheers 😀👍🍻

It's a brilliant feeling when you finally get to nail a style like that. Nice one. Maybe you'll have to get some massive imperial stouts to end the night on, or just get an extra freezer for all the hops you'll need and carry on 😉

Amazing looking beer

NEIPA good beer Rick :)

Hmmm... loads of worries... does dreams come true?... follow the gut feeling - and you ended up with a sucess! 😃 And where to go after a beer like that... well since you have a keg of it - no worries... Have another one! Congratulations! 🥳 🎉📯🍻

Looks like you need a bigger bong!…😂 The beer looks and sounds delicious! 🍻

The trub dump is always a mess by the nature of it. Have to get a basin or something under it and make sure everything is where it should be. The recipe sound pretty perfect. I like your as it happens kinda style, i always plan everything in my vids and then nothing goes the way I plan anyway. I would recommend the condenser thingy i have for indoor brewing. Those few extra KG of grain do make mashing that little bit more... Vigorous 😂 My god it even looks good going into fermenter😮😮😮 Ohhhhhhh just seen the finished article. DANK! Excellent lookin'. Now where did i leave my recipe book. 5.5% is pretty light for a NEIPA, BUT, its exactly where i would want it too, anything stronger than that and id take months to empty the keg😂😂 Great video, glad the neipa worked out for you, loved being on the journey from basicslly when santa brought you the hop bong last christmas, this was your season finale for sure! Excellent.

Mate, I’m so glad you have broken your NEIPA cherry and maybe the hops I sent you gave you the push you needed to do so as I know how nervous you were about brewing one, because let’s face it, it can be an expensive drain pour if you get it wrong. But the recipe I sent you was all Matt Callaby, it was a brew I wanted to try but never got round to doing. But regardless of all of that, you brewed what looks and sounds like an absolutely awesome beer and you did that and brewing process makes the ingredients and recipe shine. Thanks for the shout out and I hope you now have the confidence to brew another one, because they are epic beers to drink and impress your friends with. Keep going with the content and ignore the haters as I enjoy watching them and I’m too lazy to make them. Much love ❤❤❤

33:39 500g of hops is wild! So glad it turned out well

That beer looks sensational!

Great yeast choice! Great video so far. I’m commenting as I go, so there may be more 😂
