If you have been wanting to make beer at home, start right here. This Belgian IPA recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Belgian IPA, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The Belgian IPA is a modern hybrid, an attempt to marry the hop intensity of an American IPA with the spicy, fruity character that Belgian yeast throws off. It took shape in the 2000s as Belgian brewers answered the craft hop movement and American brewers reached for abbey and saison strains. The result comes out drier than most IPAs, with pepper and orchard fruit from fermentation sitting next to the bitterness.

Here the hopping leans continental, using Styrian Goldings, Saaz, and Tettnang instead of the usual American citrus, which lets the abbey yeast lead. The beer pours pale gold and finishes crisp and slightly warming.

A Note On Substitutions

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Belgian IPA. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
