All grain home brew recipe kit from Jonny at The Craft Beer Channel

In July 2024 Jonny attempted to brew the crispest, cleanest, lagery-est IPA hes ever brewed Jonny uses WHCs amazing thermotolerant yeast – be sure to check out the two videos on their YouTube channel to find out how he got on and to learn more about this recipe kit as not all goes to plan for him when using a yeast which is totally new to him.

Some tips, ensure you use the right amount of yeast, and also add some yeast nutrients towards the end of the boil or maybe add ProMix

The beer will most likely not drop clear and bright on its own, a long period of cold crashing will help but if you want to help it along we would recommend using some Brausol after fermentation is complete.
