San Diego Dreamin' IPA Beer Kit

Introducing the San Diego Dreamin' IPA Beer Kit, your gateway to crafting a West Coast-inspired masterpiece right in the comfort of your own home! This fun and easy-to-use kit is packed with premium ingredients that come together to create a delicious, hop-forward IPA with a complex flavor profile. The foundation of your beer is built on 5 lbs. of Light Dry Malt Extract, providing a light and crisp base that allows the hop flavors to shine through. The malt profile is further enhanced by the addition of 2-Row Brewer’s Malt, Honey Malt, American Victory Malt, and Caramel Malt (20L), which contribute depth, subtle sweetness, biscuit-like flavor, nuttiness, and a touch of caramel sweetness, respectively. These malts work together to create a well-rounded character that balances out the hop bitterness perfectly.

Speaking of hops, the San Diego Dreamin' IPA Beer Kit features a fantastic blend that will have your taste buds dancing. Magnum Hops provide a clean bitterness, while Centennial Hops bring a burst of citrus and floral notes to your beer. The tropical fruit flavors of Azacca Hops add a juicy dimension, and the complex array of fruity, earthy, and piney flavors from Mosaic Hops make your IPA truly unforgettable. To ensure a successful fermentation and a crystal-clear beer, the kit also includes a Yeast Energizer / Irish Moss Combo Packet and a packet of Apex San Diego Dry Yeast, specially selected for its ability to accentuate hop flavors. So, embark on a brewing adventure with the San Diego Dreamin' IPA Beer Kit and experience the sunny California days and hoppy, delicious IPAs that you and your friends will love. Cheers!
