Your Label Peelers Lloyd's Overlook DIPA 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.

Lloyd's Overlook DIPA Beer Kit isn't just a beer brewing kit, it's a ticket to a flavor journey that will have your taste buds lost in a labyrinth of tantalizing tastes, forever and ever.

Lloyd himself recommends this blueberry DIPA, a double vision inducing brew that's as complex as it is refreshing. The hop bill is a trifecta of Motueka, Azacca, and Columbus hops, each contributing their unique notes to this symphony of flavors. The citrusy punch from the Motueka hops dances harmoniously with the underlying peppery notes from the Columbus hops. But the party doesn't stop there.

The Azacca hops make a grand entrance, bringing tropical vibes to this flavor fiesta. It's like a luau for your taste buds, where every sip is a sip of sunshine.

But what's a DIPA without a twist? Enter the blueberry puree. This isn't just any blueberry puree, it's 49 oz. of Oregon Fruit Blueberry Puree. It brightens up the flavor profile, adding a sweet and tangy dimension that makes this DIPA a standout.

The backbone of this brew is the 6 lbs. of Light Dry Malt Extract, providing a solid base for the other flavors to shine. The 1 lb. of 2-Row Brewer’s Malt and 1 lb. of Caramel 40L Malt add depth and complexity, while the 8 oz. of Flaked Wheat gives it a smooth and creamy mouthfeel.

So, if you're ready to embark on a brewing adventure, Lloyd's Overlook DIPA Beer Kit is your perfect companion. It's more than just a beer kit, it's a flavor expedition that will have you seeing double, and loving every moment of it. Brew it, taste it, love it. Your taste buds will thank you.

Equipment Instructions

Sanitizer 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 Lloyd's Overlook DIPA 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.

Bottles

When your Lloyd's Overlook DIPA 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.

Brew Pots

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 Lloyd's Overlook DIPA 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.

Siphons

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.

Fermenters

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

Hoses

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 Lloyd's Overlook DIPA over a few feet of unsanitary hose.

Funnels

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.

Airlocks

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.

Stoppers and Bungs

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

Carboy 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

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.

Capper

When you bottle your Lloyd's Overlook DIPA, 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

A large quantity of dual-purpose hops is utilized nowadays. These hops possess high alpha acid content and desirable aromatic qualities.
