A traditional India Pale Ale in the style of those sent to India in the 19th Century. Brews 40 pints. A high alcohol content and a very high hop rate were needed to preserve the beer on its long sea journey. The beer would normally be diluted to a more 'quaffable' strength before drinking.
Brews 23 litres (40 pints). Colour; dark amber. Bitterness; very high (EBC 38 - 42). A.b.v. 4.5 - 4.8%
The choices for making these kits are:
1. Brewing sugar 1kg - This will produce a light bodied beer with a pronounced hop character
2. Spray-dried malt extract 1kg – This will produce a beer with more body and a maltier profile, hops are still in evidence though.
3. Premium grade liquid malt extract 1.5kg – This will produce a truly commercial quality beer with a fuller body and a higher alcohol content.
You decide (The sugars need to be purchased separately).
