Your Brew Glue Terpene IPA Beer Kit is your ticket to creating an IPA that’s not just next level—it's a whole new dimension for hop enthusiasts. Imagine a beer that captures the essence of a lush, aromatic forest, thanks to the unique addition of terpene extracts. These extracts, derived from the GG #4 Original Glue strain, infuse your brew with intense, hop-centered aromas that are nothing short of mesmerizing.
Your brewing journey begins with a robust foundation of 7 lbs. of Pale Ale Dry Malt Extract, setting the stage for a rich and full-bodied beer. The addition of 1 lb. of 2 Row Brewer’s Malt and 1 lb. of Victory Malt adds layers of complexity, while 12 oz. of Caramel 40L Malt brings a touch of sweetness that balances the bold hop profile. A hint of 2 oz. of Chocolate Malt rounds out the malt bill, adding depth and a subtle roasted note that complements the vibrant hop character.
Speaking of hops, your taste buds are in for a treat with a carefully curated blend of 1 oz. each of Cascade, Citra, Lemondrop, and Mosaic Hops. These hops dance together in perfect harmony, delivering a burst of citrus, floral, and tropical fruit notes that are both refreshing and invigorating. The Chinook hops, with their piney essence, are the perfect partners to the aromatic terpene addition, creating a beer that’s as complex as it is delightful.
To ensure your brew reaches its full potential, the kit includes a Yeast Energizer and Irish Moss Combo Packet, along with a packet of Verdant IPA Dry Yeast. These components work together to enhance fermentation and clarity, ensuring your beer is as crisp and clean as it is flavorful.
With the Brew Glue Terpene IPA Beer Kit, you’re not just brewing beer; you’re crafting an experience. Each bottle is a testament to your creativity and passion for great beer.

Good sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your Brew Glue Terpene IPA beer kit. A great practice for extra protection is to have a spray bottle filled with sanitizing solution so you can re-sanitize everything that touches or goes near your beer. Sanitation is much more difficult with beer than wine because beer has a higher pH. Wine's high acidity makes bacterial infection less likely but with beer, one small mishap can cost you your batch.
When your Brew Glue Terpene IPA is done, you will need bottles. This standard 12 ounce bottle is a good choice. You will need 54 for a 5 gallon batch. Bottles do not come with caps.
The 5 gallon carboy pictured here is the standard size for any beer kit. If you have never worked with a carboy, it is important to know they should not be moved full without a carboy handle or a carrier.
The pot pictured is an 8 gallon pot that is perfect for any beer kit or a standard 5 gallon batch.
Wort Chillers and Thermometers
Wort Chillers and Thermometers are long term investments. It is important to chill your Brew Glue Terpene IPA wort quickly. The quicker you chill it the stronger the cold break will be. You also need a good thermometer that reads fast temperature fluctuations.
Auto-siphons are a great luxury item to have in your brew equipment. Once you have one you will never go without it again. Don't forget to use a heavy duty sanitizer to clean it since you don't want to replace it as often as hoses. A good sanitizer for that job is Five Star San.
The fermenter pictured here is standard for a 5 gallon beer kit.
Many people reuse their hoses for far too long. Replacing your hoses often or even using as single use items is highly recommended with beer making. Hoses are very hard to clean and beer is very susceptible to bacterial infection. You do not want to risk losing your Brew Glue Terpene IPA over a few feet of unsanitary hose.
Pouring your wort into a carboy can be tricky. Use a big funnel made just for the job. They even have different mesh screens to remove particles.
It is recommended to replace airlocks often. Because they never physically touch the beer, the sanitation risk is too often overlooked. Bacteria can spread without physical contact in a closed environment and plastic stubbornly harbors bacteria.
Bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced. They can dry out and harbor bacteria.
Keeping your carboy clean before and after use is key to avoid bacterial infection in your beer. A carboy brush is a great tool to get into those nooks and crannies.
Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer
Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer is a convenient way of cleaning your bottles and/or carboys. This high quality tool will come in handy. Hooks up straight to your faucet with the bottle washer adapter (#4804) and puts out plenty of pressure to clean those stubborn stains from beer bottles that have been sitting around.
When you bottle your Brew Glue Terpene IPA, you will need to cap your bottles. This capper is inexpensive, easy to use and does not require attaching to a counter. It has a magnet to hold the cap in place.
DID YOU KNOW
In Old English and Old Norse, the beer-word referred to a sweet, strong beverage made from honey and the juice of fruits other than grapes, which was less common than ale. This drink was likely served in small drinking cups, similar to those found in early medieval grave goods, and was more similar to mead or cider than to ale.
