The Mangrove Jack's Craft Series American IPA is a crisp, dry IPA kit bursting with tropical fruit aromas, balancing complex fruit and malt with an intense bitterness. Dry hops are included, and it makes 23 litres - about 40 pints.
What's in the pouch
- Hopped malt extract
- A sachet of dry hops, led by Simcoe and Citra
- M44 US West Coast yeast, 10g - ferments clean and dry so the hops shine
You'll also need
- 1kg of Brewco Sugar (Dextrose) 1kg or brew enhancer, or 1.2kg of Mangrove Jack's Pure Liquid Malt Extract
- A fermenter, ChemSan no-rinse sanitiser and a hydrometer

How to brew it
Mix the extract and your fermentable, top up to 23 litres, pitch the yeast and add the dry hops later in fermentation. Mangrove Jack's recommend 18-23°C. Full steps: Mangrove Jack's Craft Series instructions.
