Cold IPA is a modern hybrid IPA that combines lager yeast with hop-forward brewing techniques to create a clean, crisp, and highly drinkable beer.

This Cold IPA 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit produces a bright, refreshing IPA with a lighter body and dry finish. The use of cool, lager-like fermentation — with the exact range depending on your chosen yeast strain — creates a smooth, clean profile that allows hop aroma to stand out without heaviness.

Expect a balanced beer with citrus-forward hop notes, subtle tropical character, and a crisp finish that makes it easy to enjoy pint after pint.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Cold IPA at home:

Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
Carapils specialty grains
Grain Steeping Bag
Magnum hops for bitterness
Citra & Mosaic hops for flavor & dry hopping
Dextrose for an ABV boost
Your choice of yeast (dry yeast, liquid yeast, or no yeast if you have your own)

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 5-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Cold IPA follows a modern IPA brewing process:

• Brew: Steep grains, boil the wort, and add hops as directed
• Ferment: Ferment cool, like a lager — the ideal temperature range depends on which yeast strain you choose
• Optional Step: Dry hop during fermentation to enhance aroma
• Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

Careful fermentation temperature control helps maintain the beer’s clean finish while allowing hop character to shine.
