Funky Buddha Chant IPA 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit

Funky Buddha Chant IPA is a modern, highly drinkable IPA designed to deliver hop flavor without heaviness. Mango, peach, and citrus notes from Mosaic and Citra hops dominate the aroma and flavor, while restrained bitterness keeps the beer light and refreshing.

Post-boil hop additions and dry hopping emphasize juicy hop character, while a lean malt base allows the beer to finish clean and crisp.

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

• 4 lb Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
• Corn Sugar (Dextrose)
• Citra & Mosaic (Bittering) Hop Packet
• Citra & Mosaic (Whirlpool) Hop Packet
• Flaked Corn
• Steeping Grains
• Amylase Enzyme
• Grain Steeping Bag
• 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 Funky Buddha Chant IPA follows a modern session IPA brewing process:

• Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops late to emphasize aroma over bitterness
• Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated
• Optional Step: Use amylase enzyme during fermentation to reduce residual sugars and calories
• Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

Careful hop timing and enzyme use help maintain bold flavor while keeping the beer light and crushable.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

• Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
• Fans of low-ABV, hop-forward IPAs
• Homebrewers interested in enzyme-assisted brewing techniques
• Drinkers who prefer tropical hop flavor without heavy bitterness
