Dry hops should be added within 24 hours of fermentation starting. Hop selection should be based on fruit, and kept to a minimum (certainly less than 4oz total). The fruit is the real star of the show here, not hops.

Use a similar to NEIPA water profile but back off the total amounts, especially on the chloride (< 100)

Yeast can be any clean yeast - we may try 1272 in the future but for now, S05 is the safe bet and at least some haze should stick around despite it not being a "New England" yeast

FRUIT - One pound + per gallon. If using a combination of fruits then you can total up to that amount - up to 1.5-2 lb/gallon seems to work ok from research

TIP NOTES: Ok. Made this for dad's 60th. ALWAYS...sterilize your fruit. People online say you don't need to. You do. This beer got a brett infection from some frozen mango we added from trader joes and tasted like sour bandaids. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS either use aseptic fruit or sanitize it before adding. The base cream ale is a GREAT recipe for a fruit beer (or a dry hopped clean ale for that matter), but really adding hops is a waste of money. Let the fruit shine through, and make sure you sanitize or use the vintner's harvest. This was secondary in the Poland spring also...next time plan is to try secondary in a keg and move it around like the dry hop. MAIN LESSON IS TO ALWAYS SANITIZE FRUIT! VODKA SOAK OR HEAT IT UP OR ASEPTIC FROM A CAN...ALWAYS
