IPA (India Pale Ale) beer kits can be generalised by saying they have a higher alcohol content and more hops compared to a pale ale.
For traditional IPA beer kits, this results in a stronger malty flavour, combined with a stronger bitterness. This is balanced with the higher alcohol content.
For the craft beer IPA kits, this means a stronger flavour of the aromatics from the hops giving beers a citrus tropical fruit aroma. There is also a slight increase in the bitterness, but not much increase in the malytiness, which means the full flavours of the hops can be enjoyed.
IPA beer kits are generally a light golden colour and tend to be rich and strong which makes them very interesting to drink.

A little history on India Pale Ales - these beers were created many years ago during the time of the commonwealth. British Officers in India wanted English ale, but they found it difficult to brew it in India, so they would try and ship pale ale from England. Due to the long journey, the beer would go stale or turn to vinegar. The brewers in England knew hops were a preservative, and found that if they increased the amount of hops and the alcohol content, the beer would make the journey to India. At the beginning of the journey the beer was very very bitter due to the amount of hops added. But hop bitterness fades over time, so by the time it got to India, the IPA had mellowed in bitterness and was quite quaffable. So this is why now, a stronger beer with lots of hops added is known as an IPA.
Due to the craft beer realm, there are now many more types of IPA than just the good old traditional English IPA, including New England IPA, West Coast IPA, East Coast IPA, New Zealand IPA, Australian IPA, Session IPA (sessionable as it is easy to drink but around 5.5% not to be confused with an English session IPA which is low in alcohol at 3.5% ish), Black IPA, Double IPA, Triple IPA, Quadruple IPA, Double Dry Hopped IPA and even Belgian IPA.

We have purchased this wine kit numerous times. We have always had a good quality pack of wine. Presented chilled this wine is as good as any shop wine.
Always ready to drink within a couple of weeks .

Quite simply add this .
You will have the fermenter foaming all over the floor and walls but you will have the real quality that you want .
Made fruit wines of all types for years and on some as a hobby , had a go last year base level wine kit and so so ,a bit sweet ok if you only want to get well oiled . But this added to a kit is wow for a nearly sixty year old wine drinker just try adding half the bottle to your next 30 bottle kit you will never go back.

Very good works a treat.makes the wine look professional and attractive to the coinesseur.

I made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.

Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍

Once again received my order in good condition. Will definitely order again , already steeped in gin and looking forward to the end result.
Will recommend to friends and definitely order from you again
Thanks again

I've just used these new screw on caps for threaded wine bottles, and so far I reckon they are great. Just fill the bottle with your latest creation, put the cap on top, give it a whack down and screw tight. Saves loads of time and does not leak. Definitely will use these again.

Nice and solid. Remembered to vaseline the joints before connecting.

This is the first time I have made a wine buddy kit and I must say, this is a good quality, tasty wine. I will definitely be making another very soon.

I ordered two hydrometers and these were promptly dispatched, but there was an issue with the courier company and delivery. I contacted Brewbitz, who could have just stated: 'We sent it, the problem is with the couriers'. But they didn't. Brewbitz were very knowledgeable and offered a lot of reassurance. The delivery was delayed by a few days, but I was very impressed with how brebitz dealt with the delivery issue. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home brew company. Very happy!

Over the years, I've tried many brands of wine kits. I buy the full bodied reds from Cellar 7. which is the best for ready to drink after fermentation
I don't use any of the chemicals provided. as I don't keep it.
My method is to fill a fermenter with tap water plus a big pan of boiling water to the 23litre mark. temp around 20-24c Using an electric drill with a long handled mixing spoon mix thoughly and add in the yeast nutrient while mixing. Cap it with an airlock and that's it. Leave it to ferment out completely. 7-10 days and transfer to 5 litre plastic bottles degassing by shaking the bottles a few times. That's it, works every time

I’ve managed with an old wooden corker, for years. But lately I have lost a few bottles by hitting too hard.
Then I found this hand corker, what a revelation.
The reviews say it’s hard to use. Not at all, I’m getting on in years, now, and I had no problems. If you follow the video, and soak the cork in hot water it is a bit easier, but not really necessary.

Great kit, will definitely get again, a very good stout kit. Simply brew kits are great.

Just tried it for the first time after almost 3 months since bottling. My first red wine kit and I was surprised how good it was. Medium+ body, red fruits with peppery hints and smoother than you’d expect from a very young red wine.
Had dinner with sis and hubby. I’d used screw cap bottles without removing labels, the one I bought to the meal was in a Waitrose Good Ordinary Claret bottle. Bro-in-law was impressed, said he’d have to buy some, then I told him I’d made it from a kit.
No doubt it’ll improve with a bit more ageing but it’s very nice already.

This has got to be one of my favourite wines to make. The flavour is lovely and refreshing. Would highly recommend
