Grapefruit Grenade IPA Beer Kit

Get ready to ignite your taste buds with our Grapefruit Grenade IPA beer kit! This isn't just a beer brewing kit, it's an adventure in a box, a journey into the heart of craft beer making.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, begins with 6 lbs. of Light Dry Malt Extract. This is the backbone of your brew, providing a light, crisp base that lets the other flavors shine. It's the canvas upon which you'll paint your masterpiece.

Next, you'll add 4 oz. of Caramel 10L Malt. This is where the magic starts to happen. This malt adds a touch of sweetness and a hint of caramel color to your brew, creating a beautiful balance to the citrusy punch that's coming.

Then, you'll introduce 4 oz. of Carapils Malt. This unsung hero of the brewing world adds body and mouthfeel to your beer, giving it that satisfying, full-bodied texture that makes each sip a delight.

Now, it's time for the hops. You'll start with 1 oz. of East Kent Golding Hops, a classic English variety that adds a subtle earthiness to balance the bright citrus notes. Then, you'll add 1 oz. of Citra Hops, known for their bold, fruity flavors, and 1 oz. of Amarillo Hops, which add a burst of orange-citrus aroma. These hops are the spark that lights the fuse of your Grapefruit Grenade IPA.

Finally, the pièce de résistance: 4 oz. of Grapefruit Flavoring. This is the grenade in your Grapefruit Grenade IPA. It explodes on the palate with a burst of tart, tangy, juicy grapefruit flavor that makes this beer a refreshing, thirst-quenching delight.

So, are you ready to brew? Your Grapefruit Grenade IPA beer kit is waiting. It's time to pull the pin and let the flavor explosion begin!
