Lupulin Fix Brewing Kit - 5 Gallon (English IPA Style)

India Pale ales were created by Hodgson's brewery to provide British troops stationed in India with English ale as well as to provide the shipping industry with cargo on their return trip from England to India. This beer had to be robust to withstand the long voyage, elevated heat and constant motion of the ship. At the time of its creation IPA was considered a light beer due to the primary use of pale malts and high attenuating yeasts it tended to be drier and less full bodied than the brown beers of the day. Color ranges from golden amber to light copper, but most are pale to medium amber with an orange-ish tint. Should be clear, although unfiltered dry-hopped versions may be a bit hazy. Good head stand with off-white color should persist, with assertive hop bitterness and a dry finish. English versions have less hop flavor and aroma and are darker in color than their American counterparts. Bacchus Batches have been developed, tweaked, and argued over for the last 40 years. Our kits feature expertly crafted recipes that cater to a range of tastes and preferences. Whether you're a fan of hop-forward IPAs, malt-driven stouts, or balanced pale ales, our recipes ensure you brew award winning beer with the freshest ingredients. All kits include grain, yeast, hops, and priming sugar (at no extra cost). Select grain milling at checkout, or drop it in the notes section. When shipping a kit, it is highly recommended to purchase an ice pack with an insulated shipper to ensure yeast health.
