India Pale Ale Beer Kits (IPA)
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.👍

Love to use this for sterilisation and you can use it a few times so really lasts

Easy to brew and a flavour that suits my palate. A regular for me.

I enjoy stouts and this one is a particular favorite. Full of flavour and better than anything I've been served in a pub. And it's easy to make.

This was my first attempt with a Solomon Grundy Kit and I opted for the platinum version because no additional sugar is required. I used a temperature controlled heat pad and from start to decanting the clear wine has taken 8 days. I could have done it in 7 days but I spent the extra day degassing the wine prior to adding finings. It has cleared very well and tastes really good. I intend to polish it over the next day or so before storing fot at least a month. Given the ease of brewing and the end result thus far, I'll be starting another SG kit is the near future.

Eventually started this one and it went off like a rocket initially. Took a reading yesterday and it was a bit off the recommended fg but will give it another week and check it.Smells amazing though.🤞🏻

I use this for sterilising bottles, using a zero rinse liquid, before siphoning home brew beer.

I have brewed this kit a few times and it has always produced a nice tasty ale, I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it yet!

I have brewed this kit a few times and it has always turned out to be a nice tasty ale, I would recommend it and I will certainly be brewing it again.
