They are especially suited to time poor brewers or those who simply want an excellent beer with a minimum of effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: These kits are generally designed to add 3 litres of water to the fermentation to achieve the ideal balance, you may if you wish, not add the extra water for a richer, higher gravity version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYeast not included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDESCRIPTION:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike diving face first into a pool of hop perfumed perfection, this collaboration Extra Pale Ale (XPA) is a hop lovers dream come true!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHop Nation Brewery is renowned for their beers that celebrate everything independent brewing stands for with pride! Independently owned and operated by good mates and former winemakers Sam Hambour and Duncan Gibson, Hop Nation has grown from strength to strength as they blaze new flavour trails within the beer community. So, when we needed an XPA that would satisfy the most hop crazed beer drinkers out there, this is what they dreamed up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHop Nation XPA COMES WITH EXTRA HOPS that you add during the fermentation process. Not one, but TWO packs of fresh packed hop pellets that will fill your senses with the deep, green dank aroma that we love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePouring golden in colour with just a slight haze from the decadent dry hopping, the resinous, pine and citrus, grapefruit, orange peel dank will frolic in your glass well after this beer has vanished. But don’t worry, there’s room for another because Hop Nation XPA is a bit more session able than IPA since it clocks in at around 5.2%. Like a Pale Ale but with a whole lot more hop kick. You could say the balance is definitely leaning towards hop flavour but the malt bill is still fulfilling and medium bodied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerment this one with your old stock standard Safale US05 or if you want a bit more character try Bluestone Michigan or Lallemand Verdant or Mangrove Jack M66 Hophead. All of these yeasts will create a great beer but you might notice a distinct difference between the strains as each one creates a unique flavour profile that will accentuate the hop character and compliment the overall enjoyment of your finished beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to make it an IPA out of this?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple, don’t add water to your Beer Kit. The OG on this kit is 1.060 which will make an undiluted kit much stronger and within IPA strength range, but you'll get less finished beer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXPA is perfect as it is though with the goodness of Motueka, Ella and Citra hops all harmonising in your grasp. Pair it old pub favourites like pizza, parma, burgers or simply pair it with another Hop Nation XPA! The X makes it extra hoppy and session able!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximate cube volume: 16.5L.\u003cbr\u003eStarting Gravity: 1.060 undiluted, 1.051 with 3 litres of water added.\u003cbr\u003eGrist make up: Joe White Signature Pilsner, 36% BB Ale 36% JW Wheat 14% and JW Vienna 14%.\u003cbr\u003eBitterness: 40 IBU’s.\u003cbr\u003eBittering Hops: Motueka\u003cbr\u003eLate hops: Ella, Citra\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry hops included: Ella and Citra\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended yeasts:\u003cbr\u003eSAF US05.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grainmother Brewing Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53211357053109,"sku":null,"price":71.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/6075\/3333\/files\/HopNation_page-0001.jpg?v=1788499776","url":"https:\/\/grainmother.com\/products\/hop-nation-xpa-fresh-wort-kit","provider":"Grainmother Brewing Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
