woman drinking beerYour Label Peelers Belgian Hop Topper 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.

Dive into the world of craft beer with our Belgian Hop Topper IPA kit. This isn't just any IPA - it's a fusion of two major yeast strain choices, a harmonious blend of American audacity and Belgian tradition.

Imagine the bold, "in your face" hops that are the hallmark of American IPAs. Now, picture that intensity mellowed and deepened by the fruity esters and complexity of a time-tested Belgian yeast strain. That's the Belgian Hop Topper IPA, a craft beer that's as unique as you are.

Your brewing journey begins with 6 lbs. of Light Dry Malt Extract, the backbone of your brew. This malt extract lays the foundation for a beer that's light in color but heavy on flavor.

Next, you'll add 12 oz. of Caramel Malt 20L. This malt adds a touch of sweetness to your brew, balancing out the bitterness of the hops. It's like the yin to the hop's yang, creating a beer that's perfectly balanced and incredibly drinkable.

Then, you'll stir in 1 lb. of Victory Malt. This malt is the secret ingredient that gives your beer its toasty, biscuity flavor. It's like a warm, comforting hug in every sip.

To boost the body and mouthfeel of your beer, you'll add 1 lb. of Brewer’s Crystals. These crystals are like the fairy dust of the brewing world, magically transforming your brew into a beer that's full-bodied and satisfying.

Now, it's time for the hops. You'll start with 1 oz. of Magnum Hops, known for their clean bitterness and floral aroma. Then, you'll add 1 oz. of Perle Hops, which contribute a hint of spice and fruit to your brew. Finally, you'll finish with 3 oz. of Centennial Hops, the grand finale that adds a burst of citrus and floral notes to your beer.

The result? A Belgian Hop Topper IPA that's as complex as it is refreshing. It's a beer that will leave you wishing you had more in the fridge. So why wait? Start your brewing adventure today with the Belgian Hop Topper IPA kit. Your taste buds will thank you.
