Sky High Torpedo IPA Clone Beer Kit - All Grain

Description

Your Sky High Torpedo IPA Clone is modeled on Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo Extra IPA and gives you piney, citrus, and tropical fruit notes from Citra hops. Magnum supplies the bitterness while Brewers 2-Row Malt and Caramel/Crystal 40 Malt build the malt backbone. SafAle US-05 yeast ferments clean so the hop character remains forward.

Your Sky High Torpedo IPA Clone 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.
