BeerCoAU - Split Red IPA All-Grain Recipe Kit Are you split between your love of Hops - hmmm Hops and Malt - oh so fine!
Well worry not more with Split | Red IPA we bring you a truly balanced malt and hop forward beer. With a tonne of in your face US Hop Resin underpinned by a layered full English Crisp Malt bed you will find hoppiness - so brew happy will you! Split! Good Red IPAs balance the hop-forward flavors and aromas of traditional IPA with the caramel, malty body of an amber ale.
We like to think our Split | Red IPA is a solid compromise that lets you the brewer and beer drinker temper the resinous kick of a hop forward IPA with notes of something a bit softer, smoother and even slightly sweet.
This is a starting point with grainbill and hops, adjust equipment profile, mash profile and efficiency as per your own setup.
Brewing salts and kettle finings such as Whirlfloc are optional , the recipe would benefit from a simple addition of 5g Calcium Sulphate mixed with the grains at the start of the mash.
METHOD:
- Mash – the brewer should do normal mash regime, mashing at 67 C for at least 65 mins
