India Pale Ale Extract Kit

O.G: 1064 / Ready: 2 months

The problem: How do you get ale from England to India and keep it in good condition? The solution: IPA. Brewed strong and hoppy to withstand travel and aging, IPAs from brewers such as Hodgson's and Burton's spent up to five months in casks on a ship, sailing to Bangladesh and points east. Fortunately, you don't have to wait that long or go so far. This IPA is true to the original: amber-red, bursting with hops, and plenty heavy.
