DESCRIPTION

Keg King Brewing’s Red IPA takes your regular Amber Ale into IPA territory.  Combining the best of both styles, Red IPA delivers the toffee and toasted malt body wrapped in a symphony of American hop characters from Simcoe, Amarillo, Columbus and Magnum. Brewed to be a bit stronger in alcohol, this beer is the perfect union for those who like a bit more malt character in a West Coast IPA without sacrificing the hoppy flavours they crave. Perfect year round but also outstanding as an autumn treat to match the colour of your beer to the season and bring you a warm inner glow.

 

Keg King Brewing’s Red IPA is new to our range in April 2025, just in time to deliver an Autumn beer with colours and flavours to suit the season.  We designed this beer to have a deep amber golden hue and the perfect white head of foam bursting with the spicy, citrus and pine forest aromas. Brewed to be stronger in flavours and alcohol strength we offer this beer kit at a higher starting gravity to help make it authentic, fresh, Red IPA.

 

The world of India Pale Ales got ever wider when more styles combined as brewers across the globe started pushing their favourite beers into the IPA relm with stronger hop schedules, higher ABV and bigger flavours. Almost over night there were Red, White, Black and Brown IPAs  popping up everwhere and we are so thankful they did!

 

Our Red IPA is no exception and we spared no expense to ensure the hop quality on this one brings together the synergies of Simcoe, Amarillo, Columbus and Magnum hops all playing together in perfect harmony with Pale, Carapils, Carared and Dark Crystal specialty malts to get that signature red glow just right!

Our Red IPA beer kit does not include extra hops because it is already very generously hopped on brewday. HOWEVER, we never miss an opportunity to smash more hops into any beer so if you are like us, we'd recommend adding a bit of bling with 50g of some fresh Amarillo and 50g of Simcoe three days out from packaging.

 

Pair Red IPA  with  Manchego, Pecorino or any hard cheese with a sharp, nutty character. Pair with seared red meat finished with black pepper and smoke salt. The malty base of this beer and the wonderful hop spice help to balance spicy Mexican and Indian dishes so from vindaloo to carne asada, you'll find a perfect match with this Red IPA.

Ferment this one with either Bluestone Michigan or San Diego, US05 or Mangrove Jack M44 West Coast yeast.

Fresh Wort Kits Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find the questions we get asked the most regarding our Fresh Wort Kits (FWK).
Please click on one of the questions below to see the answer.

What are fresh wort kits?

Fresh wort kits are convenient and time-saving options for homebrewers. They consist of pre-made, ready-to-use wort (unfermented beer) that has been professionally brewed and then packaged for homebrewing.

How do fresh wort kits work?

Fresh wort kits eliminate the need for the homebrewer to go through the entire brewing process, including mashing and boiling. Instead, the kits provide a pre-boiled and cooled wort that can be transferred directly into a fermenter, where yeast is added to begin fermentation.

What are the benefits of using fresh wort kits?

Fresh wort kits offer several advantages, including:
  • Time-saving: With pre-made wort, you can skip several hours of brewing and focus on fermentation and other aspects of brewing.
  • Consistency: Professional brewing ensures a high-quality and consistent wort base for your beer.
  • Convenience: Fresh wort kits provide a convenient solution for both beginners and experienced homebrewers who want to streamline their brewing process.

Can I customize the beer when using a fresh wort kit?

Absolutely! While the wort itself is pre-made, you have the flexibility to customize the beer to your liking. You can experiment with different yeast strains, hop additions, and even adjuncts to create unique flavors and styles.

Which keg king products are compatible with fresh wort kits?

Keg King offers a range of products that complement the use of fresh wort kits, including:

Can I use fresh wort kits with other fermenters or kegerators?

Yes! Fresh wort kits can be used with a wide range of fermenters and kegerators. However, it's important to ensure that your chosen equipment is suitable for the size and requirements of the fresh wort kit you intend to use.

Are fresh wort kits suitable for all levels of homebrewers?

Fresh wort kits are suitable for brewers of all levels, from beginners to experienced enthusiasts. They offer a convenient option for beginners looking to dive into homebrewing without the complexities of the entire brewing process. Experienced brewers can also benefit from the time-saving aspect and use fresh wort kits as a base to experiment and build upon.
