Brew a crisp, hop-forward IPA at home with the Cold IPA 1 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit from Craft a Brew. This ingredient-only refill kit is designed for small-batch brewers and delivers bright hop aroma, a clean fermentation profile, and a dry, refreshing finish by combining ale and lager brewing techniques. It is typically ready to drink in about four weeks. This recipe kit is intended for brewers who already have basic equipment and want to refill their setup with a modern IPA style. The one-gallon batch size produces approximately ten bottles, making it ideal for experimentation, repeat brewing, or maintaining freshness with smaller batches. The recipe uses a light malt base paired with carefully selected hops to create a balanced profile that emphasizes aroma without heaviness. Fermented with lager yeast at cool temperatures (58–68°F, tolerant up to 72°F), this process results in a smoother, cleaner beer compared to traditional IPAs while preserving hop character. A small amount of sanitizer is also included for safe preparation. To use, brew following standard one-gallon procedures using your existing equipment. Ferment within the recommended temperature range for the included yeast to achieve a clean, crisp profile, then condition before packaging. Assembled to dependable quality standards, the Cold IPA Beer Recipe Kit offers a reliable way to brew a smooth, aromatic, and refreshing IPA with a clean finish and modern hybrid style character.
