Cold IPA - 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

Brew a crisp, hop-forward IPA at home with the Cold IPA 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit from Craft a Brew. This ingredient-only kit delivers bright hop aroma, a clean fermentation profile, and a dry, refreshing finish by combining ale and lager brewing techniques. It is designed for modern IPA drinkability with a smooth, crisp character and is typically ready in about four weeks.

This recipe kit is intended for brewers who already have all-grain brewing equipment and want to produce a larger batch of clean, hop-driven beer. The five-gallon yield produces approximately fifty bottles, making it well suited for sharing, gatherings, or maintaining a steady supply of fresh beer.

The recipe features a light malt base built from high-quality base malts and specialty grains for balance and body, paired with layered hop additions to create a bright, aromatic profile. Fermented cool, like a lager — exact temperature depends on your chosen yeast strain — this process produces a cleaner, crisper beer compared to traditional IPAs while allowing hop character to remain expressive and balanced.

To use, brew according to standard all-grain procedures using your existing equipment. Ferment within the recommended temperature range for lager yeast to achieve the intended clean, dry finish, then condition before packaging.

Assembled to dependable quality standards, the Cold IPA 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit provides a reliable way to brew a smooth, crisp IPA with modern hybrid style character and consistent results.
