If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to, why don't you go where dry beer sits? Puttin' on the Spritz!

There's a new style on the scene that has everyone tapping their toes, and we're excited to bring you a beer from the man that started the tune. In our latest addition to the BrewMaster Series lineup we have one of the original Brut IPA's - Puttin' on the Spritz! This hybrid IPA is the brainchild of Kim Sturdavant of Social Kitchen & Brewery in San Francisco, California. We first met Kim on our journey to brew with and understand the amyglucosidase enzyme (the signature ingredient responsible for a Brut's dry character). Kim, being the stand-up fella that he is, was kind enough to not only share his knowledge of the AMG enzyme, but also the very recipe that shook up the brew scene and inspired countless iterations of the style.

Despite its dry character, Puttin' on the Spritz is sneaky drinkable with a thirst-quenching profile. El Dorado and Mosaic® hops impart tart citrus and tropical fruit notes, while a grain bill primarily featuring pilsner malt and flaked corn makes for an ultra-clean finish with almost no caramel or overt malty flavors. Crisp, dry, clean, crushable.

Curious about Brut IPA's? Check out There and Back Again, A Brut IPA Tale! In this article, our own Vito Delucchi takes us along on his quest to unlock the mysteries of the amyloglucosidase enzyme and discover the best methods for brewing Brut IPA's.  Also be sure to check out Kim's Brut IPA website where he discusses the philosophies, techniques, and history of this emerging style.

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.048
  • SRM (Color Range): 3
  • IBUs: 24
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 6.9%
  • Ultra Ferm Included (AD364)

Juicy Brut (previously purchased) was delicious. Looking for an easy drinking IPA for the dog days of summer.

Easy to purchase kit that has been vetted for my first Brut IPA. Then I will look to develop my own recipe with time.

I am thinking of purchasing the all grain version. At what point do you add the Ultra Firm?
Theron Volkman on Jan 8, 2019
BEST ANSWER: When pitching.
This is my first brew with this kit. Is this Brut supposed to be hazy? Mine is cold crashing now and it looks very hazy.
Richard Dimock on Mar 14, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes it will be a little hazy, I have brewed two of them and both have been a little hazy. They both tasted great, and both are full grain brews. I will be brewing a third one soon...
How does an OG of 1.048 produce an ABV of nearly 7%?
Bill Snowden on Mar 21, 2019
BEST ANSWER: You need to get your FG close to 1.000. If you follow the direction with the kit and add the Alpha Amylase during mash-in and the Ultra Ferm directly to the fermenter along with your yeast you should come close. A OG of 1.048 and a FG of 1.000 results in an ABV% of 6.3%. If you can get your efficiencies up a bit you can achieve a higher OG. I brew with a GrainFather RIMS system and my efficiencies are normally in the mid to high 80 percentile. My Brut brew produced a OG of 1.064 and a FG of 0.998. Adjusted for a temperature of 67.5 F (add.002) it came out to a FG of exactly 1.000.

Did not meet expectations - flavor and hoppiness
BIAB method with FG finishing at 1.000. Fermented at 64-66 degrees, took a few shakes of the carboy jumpstart fermentation. Airlock would go quiet then boom, high krausen. Repeated a few times.

Looking mighty clear cold-crashing for several days but after kegging, flavor really let me down. Not a huge departure from an American pale ale tbh. I should have used all those hops for the boil instead of dry-hopping. Haven't had the original (brewery is now closed too) so nothing to compare it to.

This is the first kit I've gotten from morebeer that has let me down, that says something.

Had to do my own research.
I ordered a full grain kit and got instructions for an extract kit. I was hoping for a little more information on the applications of the amylase but there was not much to be had.

A Fantastic Clone
Bright and full of citrus flavor. I have made this twice (one with Omega Hornindal the other with Omega Voss) only difference was grapefruit vs orange notes from the yeasts. Mine actively fermented for about a week and were kegged after 11 days. I didn't hit the FG goal of 1.000 and suspect it was due to lower ferm temps, but still a noticeably dry, very tasty kit.

A solid kir
This kit was a crowd pleaser. The tropical notes of flavor and aroma hit the spot. The dry finish was great. I'm not sure if it was the AMG but there was active fermentation for 3 weeks. A much longer duration than I'm use to. I would recommend this product to any of my brewing friends looking to brew a Brut.

A great clone of the Social Kitchen original
Bright and bold with tasty hop flavoring for a special spring brew. This has been a winner with a wide range of my brew-loving friends. This will be a repeat brew for us.

Great Brut! Nice dry finish, medium hops.
I ended up using Kveik Hornindal yeast for this beer and it turned out great. Since I kettle fermented this beer at 95F, I added the dry hops after cooling to my hop spider and left them in the whole fermentation. The Kveik took this beer to a FG of 1.000 in 3 days! Grain to glass in 5 days. This one went quick.

Better than commercial examples.
Used California ale yeast. Huge candy and citrus hop aroma from the El Dorado hops on the nose, hint of sweetness with an effervescent quality in the mouthfeel, and when you swallow, nothing. No lingering tastes, just gone. Dry as a bone.

Make sure to do a few days at 70 when fermentation is done to eliminate diacytyl.

Fantastic beer! I'll be brewing it again and again!
AWESOME BEER! I've tried the Sierra Nevada and the New Belgium Brut IPAs and I loved them! I bought this kit in hopes that it would be good, it's not, it's GREAT!! It's better than both of the commercial ones I tried. This will be in the year round rotation for me in both the indoor and pool side kegerators!
