Citra IPA Recipe Kit

Brew an IPA that strikes the perfect harmony between bold hop character and satisfying malt depth. With a base of golden light extract for clean fermentability, Crystal 40 and 80 bring a touch of caramel, toffee, and rich amber color that balances the citrus blast from Citra hops. Carapils ensures a smooth, full mouthfeel and a lasting, frothy head, while Magnum lays down a clean, assertive bitterness without overshadowing the vibrant tropical fruit and citrus aromas. The result? A hop-forward, aromatic IPA with just enough sweetness and body to keep you coming back for another pint. It's classic meets contemporary—balanced, bold, and unforgettable. Hops may vary due to availability.

• Balance: The crystal malts (especially 40 & 80) add just enough sweetness and malt depth to offset the strong bitterness and citrus punch from the hops.
• Head & Body: Carapils improves the beer’s texture and head retention, which can be lost in hop-heavy recipes.
• Hop Showcase: Magnum’s clean bitterness clears the way for Citra to take the spotlight in aroma and flavor.
• Approachable Yet Bold: This combo gives you an IPA that's hop-forward but not one-dimensional—there’s a solid malt structure underneath to round it out.
