Brewers Best - Double IPA Kit

Designed to emulate the upfront and dominant hop profile of the famed west coast style, the Double IPA recipe kit pops with the aromas of citrus and slight pine in the finished beer. With a recipe formulated to produce high gravity beer, the complex hop flavors are perfectly presented on a medium-light body background while a golden hue and white frothy head round out the style.

Application Tip:

To upgrade the yeast to a liquid culture, purchase the Wyeast 1272 All American Ale yeast separately. Providing an appealing tart fruitiness, the strain ferments soft, dry and crisp, allowing the hops to really pop. (Additional yeast sold separately.)

Application Tip:

To further add hop character to the Double IPA, dry hop the beer for 3 days with perhaps 1 oz. Amarillo or Simcoe or Citra or Centennial or Ahtanum or.... Or, simply add in another 1 – 2 oz. of American style IPA hop. Following the finish of fermentation, add the hops to the primary for 3 days before siphoning to secondary.

Alternatively, siphon the fermented beer to the secondary fermentor and add the hops to the beer 3 days prior to packaging. (Additional hops sold separately.)
