Grapefruit Grenade IPA Beer Kit - Extract

Description

Your Grapefruit Grenade IPA gives you a crisp light-bodied beer with citrus notes from the hops balanced by subtle malt sweetness. The Golden Light Dry Malt Extract creates a clean base while Caramel 10L Malt adds light caramel character and Carapils Malt contributes body. East Kent Golding hops supply earthy bitterness at the start of the boil, Citra hops add fruity flavor mid-boil, and Amarillo hops deliver orange-citrus aroma late in the boil. The SafAle US-05 yeast ferments cleanly so the hop and grapefruit elements remain prominent. You add the grapefruit flavoring at bottling for tart juicy grapefruit character.

Your Label Peelers Grapefruit Grenade 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.
