Homebrew Crisp IPA

  • Classic English hops and strong bready malt
  • ABV 4.7%
  • IBU 25
  • OG 1043 SG

This is our homebrew version of the original English India Pale Ale or IPA recipe with our workhorse Best Ale Malt and some Munich Malt to add a light toast and bready quality. The beer is well attenuated like its Indian forebears. Hops dominate in this timeless style.

Mike'S TOP TIP

Use DWB, a blend of brewing salts that “Burtonise” water to give the typical dry finish and accentuated bitterness of this beer style.
