This is the recipe for our Cascade 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: Cascade 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.
