Martin's Red IPA Recipe Kit

Home brewing made easy starts with a kit like this one. This Red IPA recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Red IPA, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

A Red IPA keeps the hop load of a West Coast IPA but builds a deeper malt base, using caramel and a small amount of roasted grain to pull the color toward amber and ruby. The malt brings caramel and light toffee, which softens the bitterness without hiding it. Think of it as the middle ground between an American amber and an IPA, with the balance tipped toward the hops.

Simcoe, Cascade, and Centennial supply the citrus and pine that play against the caramel.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Crystal 50 in place of the recipe's Caramunich® II; Carafa II in place of the recipe's Carafa Special I (Weyermann). We stock dry yeast only, so LalBrew Windsor (English Ale) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Ringwood Ale (Wyeast Labs 1187).
