Nothing excites the craft beer drinker more than an IPA, almost the flagship beer of the American Craft beer Revolution. This beer is far different from the stuffy sub 4% beers found in some back street pubs with more similarities to the traditional IPA’s brewed in the 18th century. These beers were brewed to slake the thirst of the British troops garrisoned in India and were heavily hopped and relatively high in alcohol to survive the arduous journey round the southern tip of South Africa.

These days American IPA’s are brewed to be drunk fresh and use obscene amounts of fragrant American hops that give them their unique pine, fruit salad and floral character. We’ve used three of the most popular and heavily sought after hops Simcoe, Centennial and Chinook. Chinook and Centennial are classic American hops, beautiful and fragrant they exude grapefruit and floral character, the Simcoe tempers this fruit character with its more savoury pine resin

character. With our US West Coast ale yeast strain sourced from an American craft brewery giving such a clean fermentation profile these hops shine through explosively giving you a fantastic IPA to brew at home that will rival the world’s best!

Our IPA pours like a true IPA, pale gold with a fluffy white head, the aroma of this beer hits you immediately, intense pine and grapefruit character a side of tropical fruit salad.

On the palate this beer has just enough malt to hold the crazy amounts of hops we’ve put in it giving you a riot of flavours tending toward the pine resin from the Simcoe, bitterness is full on refreshing the palate and inviting another sip.

Look: Pours pale gold, fluffy white head.

Aroma: Wonderful aroma of tropical and citrus fruits, a fantastic combination of fresh fruit, mango and grapefruit.

Flavour: Great balance between malt and hops, very fruity with great overtones of pine needles, with slight herbal character with a full and lingering dry bitter flavour.

Makes 40 pints at approx. 6.5% ABV. Each kit comes with it's own, yeast, sugar, priming sugar and malt extract so only water needed.

This is an ingredients only kit – equipment is not included.

Best IPA

I have brewed this IPA a number of times and tried others. In my opinion nothing has bettered this IPA beer. I substitute sugar for the same amount of spray malt, light hoppy. Treat the water with Harris pure brew and away I go. Barrelled or bottled, superb.

Very simple kit to brew but not the best in my view

I enjoyed brewing and drinking this amber coloured IPA. I found the end product similar to Mangrove Jacks American IPA which I brewed just before this one. It’s a very simple kit to brew as it comes with everything you need, so if you are new to home brewing it is ideal. As much as I enjoyed it, I preferred the Mangrove Jacks kit because I found the mouthfeel better and the hop flavour more distinct. However, I should point out that I added 500g of Munton’s hopped Light malt extract and an additional kilogram of brewing sugar to the Mangrove Jack kit which undoubtedly helped to achieve this. My OG for this kit was 1.063 and FG 1.012. With an extra 0.3% added during the conditioning process it came out just shy of 7% ABV which, as you can imagine, is pretty strong!

Guid stuff

Tried a few different but just don't bother any more... Nothing comes close to this superb brew. Take your time and you're rewarded with a really tasty beer.

Mangrove Jacks Craft Series 26 Pints Spiced Belgian Dubbel

Simply Ginger beer.

Turned out great, very happy with it, refreshing and the ginger has a kick, the alcohol content is just right.

No More Bottles!

TLDR: The product is good, and much better than bottling-up!

I'm just trying these mini kegs for the first time with a couple of 25 litre brews. I decided to try them because, hey, who wants to wash another bottle, right?! (Seriously, I got bottle washing burn out!)

I'm using the supplied bungs and the integrated tap. As I'm only on my first rack-up, I can't speak to reusability or longevity, but first impressions are that this looks very positive. The kegs are robust, more than they look in pics. The taps are printed "Fass Frisch", a company renowned for high quality products, and the taps live up to that.

The supplied handles clip on nicely, and are far better than my first-glance suspicions. The moment I cautiously lifted the first full keg by the handle my worries were gone.

As for usage, filling's a little awkward. I used a bottle buddy, and a torch to peer into the keg! A source online suggested putting the keg on scales and filling to a certain weight, which seems sensible to me, but I thought I'd make life difficult for myself first time around! (A fishing float would probably do the trick well.) I batch primed, intentionally under-priming (~2.5g granulated per litre for an IPA, much less than bottling), there are lots of warnings when reading up about over-priming 5L kegs, so I went with better to be under-carbed than under the floor boards! I'm not fussed about that this time, as I intend to get a Party Star tap for the next run.

With the pressure from priming sugar, the build up allows about 300mL of "under pressure" dispensing before the bung's valve needs to be opened, then the flow is fairly slow - curse Earth's weak gravity! The pressure will build up again over a half-day or so, but be aware that air's getting in every time, so not advisable to keep a started keg for "too long". A good excuse to drink the brew, and another good reason to get the Party Star tap: no air ingress. That setup would probably keep the brew good for over six months, maybe a year - but don't take my word for that, others would know much better. And anyway, who's keeping an open keg for a year?

The kegs also gave me a feeling of being a little bit more "pro", more set up, a slightly better homebrewer! I will defo be getting more.

Cider enhancer

First time using the enhancer and will use again.
Cider is crisp and fresh, fermentation started the same day and results are good.
