Main Ingredients

9 lbs Pale Malt

1 lbs Caramel Malt

0.06 lb (1 oz)Bittering Hops (e.g., Magnum)

0.06 lb (1 oz)Flavor Hops (e.g., Cascade)

0.06 lb (1 oz)Aroma Hops (e.g., Amarillo)

1 packet Yeast (e.g., American Ale Yeast)

0.19 lb (3 oz)Priming Sugar (for bottling)

5 gallons Water

Brewing Process

1. Mash the Grains

Heat 5 gallons of water to 165°F (74°C) and add the crushed pale malt and caramel malt. Maintain the temperature at 150°F (65°C) for 60 minutes.

2. Sparge the Grains

Heat another 5 gallons of water to 170°F (77°C) and sparge over the grains to collect the wort in a brew kettle.

3. Boil the Wort

Bring the wort to a boil and add the bittering hops. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the flavor hops in the last 15 minutes and the aroma hops in the last 5 minutes.

4. Cool the Wort

After boiling, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath.

5. Fermentation

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel, pitch the yeast, and seal with an airlock. Ferment for 1-2 weeks at around 68°F (20°C).

6. Bottling

Once fermentation is complete, dissolve priming sugar in a small amount of water and add to the beer before bottling. Bottle the beer and cap the bottles.

7. Conditioning

Allow the bottles to condition at room temperature for 1-2 weeks before refrigerating and enjoying your India Pale Ale.
