It stands out for its very bold, clean pineapple character, often with supporting notes of mango and citrus. While it shares some tropical DNA with hops like Citra and Mosaic, BRU-1 tends to be more pineapple-forward and can feel brighter and more singular in its fruit expression. It’s become popular in hazy IPAs when brewers want a big, distinct tropical punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha Acids:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 – 15%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 – 3.5 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Substitutions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citra or Mosaic (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yakimavalleyhops.com\/products\/bru-1-hop-pellets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMore tech specs here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBRU-1 is mainly used for aroma and flavor. It performs well in late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping, where it delivers strong pineapple and tropical character. Because it’s quite potent, it can easily dominate a beer if used too heavily. Most people find 2–4 oz total in 5 gallons works well for solid impact. Going heavier can make the pineapple note feel heavy or artificial, so it usually performs best when it has some breathing room alongside other hops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBrew day tip: It pairs especially well with Citra, Mosaic, or Galaxy when you want to push big, layered tropical fruit. It can also stand on its own in simpler hazy recipes if you’re looking for a strong pineapple-forward profile.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42581023129685,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/bru-1-hops-pineapple-harvest-truck-bed.jpg?v=1781018085","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/bru-1-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
