What's in the box

  • Malt extract in a bag-in-box pack

How to brew it

Soften the malt bag in hot water, mix it with 3 litres of hot water, top up to 23 litres at 20-25°C and add the yeast. Ferment for 8-15 days at 18-24°C; add the hop teabag 1-2 days before you bottle, for maximum aroma. Bottle once the gravity stops falling, with a level teaspoon of sugar per 330ml or 500ml bottle, then keep warm for a week and cool for about another week to clear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to add sugar?

No additional sugar is required - just add water. See our Brew Enhancer vs Plain Sugar guide.

What does it taste like?

A powerful, hop-forward double IPA built around Simcoe and Summit hops, with intense resinous and tropical fruit aromas, big bitterness and a warming strength.

Is yeast included?

Yes - Bulldog's US West Coast craft yeast is in the box, so you don't need to buy any. If you'd like to experiment, Safale US-05 is a clean alternative that lets the hops lead.

How long should I condition it?

At least 3 weeks. Drink it fresh after that for peak hop aroma.

What equipment do I need?

A 25-litre fermenter with an airlock, a hydrometer, a syphon, and either bottles with caps or a pressure barrel. Our home brew starter kits bundle the essentials together.
