Your Label Peelers Crimson Rye IPA Original Beer Kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.

Crimson Rye IPA Beer Kit Beer Kit is a celebration of bold, spicy, and earthy notes, thanks to the addition of Crystal Rye malt, which elevates the brew's unique spiciness to new heights. Imagine the robust hop profile as a maestro conducting a complex bouquet of pine and citrus, with a distinctive rye sharpness that makes this IPA a deeply flavorful and aromatic masterpiece.

As you embark on your brewing journey, you'll start with 6.6 lbs of Pale Liquid Malt Extract (LME), laying the foundation for a rich and malty backbone. The specialty grains, including 2 lbs of Crystal Rye Malt, 1 lb of Munich Malt, and 0.5 lb of Crystal Malt - 60L, add layers of complexity, enhancing the earthy and spicy notes that define this brew. The hops are where the magic truly happens. With 1 oz of Chinook Hops added at the 60-minute mark, you'll introduce a bold bitterness that sets the stage for the citrusy and floral notes of 1 oz of Centennial Hops at 15 minutes. Finally, 1 oz of Amarillo Hops at 5 minutes brings a burst of citrus aroma that ties the whole experience together.

To bring it all to life, a packet of Safale US-05 Ale Yeast works its magic, fermenting your creation into a well-balanced IPA that’s as satisfying to brew as it is to drink. With the Crimson Rye IPA Beer Kit, you're not just making beer; you're crafting an experience that’s as rich and rewarding as the flavors in your glass. So, roll up your sleeves, gather your ingredients, and get ready to create a brew that’s sure to impress both you and your friends.

star sanSanitizer and Spray Bottle

Good sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your Crimson Rye IPA Beer Kit 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 Crimson Rye IPA Beer Kit 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.

Carboys   

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. 

wart-chiller.pngWort Chillers and Thermometers

Wort Chillers and Thermometers are long term investments. It is important to chill your Crimson Rye IPA Beer Kit 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.  

SiphonsSiphons

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. 

FermenterFermenters

The fermenter pictured here is standard for a 5 gallon beer kit.

minijet-tubing-34987-97929.jpgHoses

 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  Crimson Rye IPA Beer Kit 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. 

AirlocksAirlocks

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.   

6.5 stopperStoppers and Bungs 

Bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced. They can dry out and harbor bacteria. 

 carboy brushCarboy Brush

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 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. 

bottle capperCapper

When you bottle your Crimson Rye IPA Beer Kit, 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

Stouts in cans and bottles are sometimes nitrogenated to mimic the taste of the keg varieties, and are equipped with an apparatus known as a "widget" to help achieve this.
