Hoptimistic Adventure AIPA Beer Kit - All Grain

Description

Your Hoptimistic Adventure AIPA gives you an American IPA with vibrant citrus and pine aroma from the Cascade and Centennial hops, earthy resinous bitterness from Columbus, and subtle caramel and toasty notes from the Briess Caramel Malt 40L.

The 10 lbs of Briess 2-Row Brewers Malt builds a clean slightly sweet backbone while Fermentis US-05 American Ale Yeast keeps fermentation crisp and clean so the hop character stays forward.

Your Hoptimistic Adventure AIPA 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.
