US IPA – Fresh Wort Kit (Grain & Grape)

A pale ale brewed in the true American style, malty and aggressively hopped with Cascade, Centennial and Columbus with assertive bitterness but good balance making it a flavoursome yet easy drinking style.

This is a beer that is worth experimenting with in terms of Dry Hopping. It is not essential but if you’d like to experiment you could try 40g to 80 grams of any classic IPA Hop. Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic and Simcoe in the fermenter 3 days before packaging.

Matt (from Grain and Grape) fermented one and used the following dry hops in the fermenter 3 days before packaging:
40g Chinook

80g Mosaic

80g Cascade
