Product Details

Making beer at home has never been easier. This American IPA recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Five Day

Making beer at home has never been easier. This American IPA recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Five Day IPA, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The American IPA took the English original and rebuilt it around New World hops. West Coast brewers in the 1980s and 90s pushed the bitterness up and loaded the late additions with citrus and resinous pine, turning the India Pale Ale into a vehicle for hop aroma. It pours gold to light amber, dry and firm, with the aroma doing most of the talking.

The name here is literal. A Norwegian kveik yeast ferments warm and fast, so the beer can go from kettle to glass in about five days without the harsh edges a rushed ferment usually brings. Columbus lays down the bittering backbone while El Dorado and Nectaron carry stone fruit and tropical notes over the top.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Munich Malt in place of the recipe's Munich II (Weyermann); Nectaron in place of the recipe's Wai-iti. We stock dry yeast only, so LalBrew Voss Kveik (Norwegian/Kveik) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Voss Kveik (Omega OYL-061).

  • 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 American 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
