Festival Razorback is a bold, hop-forward IPA bursting with citrus and pine character from a punchy Simcoe, Centennial and Summit hop addition. Pours a pale straw colour with a crisp white head, backed by just enough malt sweetness to balance the hop bitterness.

How much beer does it make and how strong is it?
Approximately 23 litres (40 pints) at around 5.7% ABV.
What does it taste like?
A bold, hop-forward IPA with citrus and pine from Simcoe, Centennial and Summit hops. It pours pale straw with a crisp white head, with just enough malt sweetness to balance the bitterness.

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.
How do I make sure it's finished fermenting?
Take hydrometer readings two days apart - if the gravity hasn't changed, fermentation has finished. Sanitise everything that touches the beer - ChemSan is a no-rinse sanitiser (2ml per litre, 2 minutes' contact), or use VWP as a cleaner/steriliser and rinse afterwards.
