Paul's 9% IIPA - Grainfather

A big 9% IIPA with a lighter mouthfeel than you would expect due to the use of dextrose to increase the original gravity without adding unfermentable sugars.

With most of the IBU's coming from whirlpool hopping the bitterness is smooth, but sufficient to provide a medium dry finish.

A mix of Willamette, Chinook, and Columbus give this beer a spicy, earthy, floral, and deeply engaging hoppiness with some citrus notes.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using two packets of Mangrove Jack's New World Strong yeast or you could also try using two packets of Lallemand's Nottingham High Performance Ale yeast.

Selecting the yeast from the dropdown box above will add one packet to your cart. Please click the + symbol beside the amount to increase this to two packets.
