Brew 8 - Sheeptor IPA (Extract Kit Experiment) Brew day: 02/08/2020 Bottle day: 16/08/2020 Another brew, another collaboration. I brewed with my Dad a few weeks ago and the outcome (Gardener's Glove IPA) was superb. My dad has been amazed at the results of all grain brewing and each and every beer surpasses what he has managed with the old extract kits that he used to use. We talked at length about having a little experiment to see if we could get an extract kit to taste half decent. I'd dry hopped a few brew like this in the past and find the results always improved the flavour of the beer. After a bit more chat, we hatched a plan to purchase a simple IPA extract base, brewing sugar and then add to it some high quality hops and a decent batch of yeast. We opted for a fairly standard John Bull IPA kit to provide a malt base. St Austell's Proper Job is a real go to
