Martin's American IPA Recipe Kit

Brewing your own beer at home is simpler than you think. This American IPA recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's American IPA, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The American IPA is the beer that changed what hops could do in a glass. It grew out of the West Coast in the 1980s and 1990s, when brewers pushed pale ale toward harder bittering and heavy late hop additions, leaning on American varieties loaded with citrus and pine resin. Expect a firm bitterness, a light malt backbone that stays out of the way, and an aroma that reaches you before the first sip.

This version runs Columbus, Simcoe, and a New Zealand hop called Nectaron that adds stone fruit and a tropical edge. Guest brewer Jason Temple helped put it together for the Homebrew Challenge.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Simcoe in place of the recipe's Denali (Exp 06277); Nectaron in place of the recipe's Kohatu. We stock dry yeast only, so LalBrew Voss Kveik (Norwegian/Kveik) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Hornindal Kveik (Omega OYL-091).
