American IPA Recipe for Home Brewers

This is the recipe for our American IPA. We don’t mind publishing these, there’s no ‘secret sauce’ to these recipes and part of the pleasure in brewing beer is sharing – so we are sharing all our recipes. If you brew the beer let us know, and if you want to buy a recipe kit it’s here: American IPA Recipe Kit

All of our recipe kits are designed to use a starting volume of 23lt, which should yield 18lt into the keg or bottles, and a brewhouse efficiency of 70%. This is the complete recipe, it can be scaled to suit any batch size.
