New England IPA 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit

The New England IPA is a modern, hop-forward style known for intense aroma and low perceived bitterness. Heavy dry hopping delivers tropical fruit, citrus, and stone fruit notes, while flaked grains contribute a soft, creamy mouthfeel.

This beer finishes smooth and easy-drinking, emphasizing hop flavor and aroma rather than sharp bitterness.

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

• 6.25 lb Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
• Citra (Hopstand) Hop Packet
• Mosaic (Hopstand) Hop Packet
• Simcoe (Hopstand) Hop Packet
• 2 Citra, Simcoe & Mosaic Blend (Dry Hop) Hop Packets
• Steeping Grains
• 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 New England IPA follows a hop-forward, haze-focused brewing process:

• Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops during the hopstand for flavor without harsh bitterness
• Ferment: Ferment with ale yeast until stable and aromatic
• Optional Step: Dry hop during fermentation to build juicy aroma and hop saturation
• Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

Proper dry hop timing and gentle handling help preserve haze and maximize tropical hop character.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

• Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
• Fans of juicy, hazy, hop-forward beers
• Homebrewers who enjoy dry hopping and modern IPA techniques
• Drinkers who prefer soft bitterness and tropical hop flavor

Because it’s brewed in larger volume, this kit is perfect for sharing fresh, hop-driven beer at peak aroma or keeping a steady supply of hazy IPA on hand.
