Double IPA Extract Kit

O.G: 1083 / Ready: 3 months

For those about to hop, we salute you! The "Double IPA", sometimes called "Imperial IPA", is an emerging style of beer that is distinctly American. The goal is to get as many hops in the beer as possible. Making the beer of an extremely high gravity (and alcohol) helps you tolerate bitterness in excess of 90 IBUs.
