This Classic West Coast IPA kit comes complete with American ale yeast. It has a fresh, clean mouthfeel from hopped ale malts.
For a West Coast IPA we recommend you add 1.5kg Brick Road Light malt extract plus 1kg Brick Road Extra Light Dry malt extract (OR 1kg dextrose). For the citrus, fruity aroma and flavour of an American West Coast IPA, add at least 30g (up to 200g) of American hops like Centennial, Cascade, Citra or Amarillo. For more piney notes add Columbus or Tomohawk. For an Australia IPA add hops like Galaxy or Vic Secret. For a NZ IPA use Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin or Motueka.
Follow Brick Road and you will soon be brewing fresh beer that tastes better than commercial beer. This can contains the foundations of great beer for you to brew at home, simply and easily. You can also build your own unique recipes brick-by-brick. Brick Road searched the world to find the best maltster to create this exceptional hopped wort.
Only the finest grains are selected and malted. Malts are blended to suit the beer style, then mashed with hop extracts to create hopped wort. The fresh wort is gently reduced to 80 Brix before being canned fresh on-site to retain its original delicious malt flavours.
