First up is FWK Creative IPA - Here we give you the opportunity to tailor your own IPA, APA, IPL, etc., based on a ready-brewed wort. You choose what you want to do next with the choice of dry hops, yeast, and any other creative moves. We encourage tinkering!
Please note that yeast and dry hops are not included and must be ordered separately.

The possibilities for tampering are endless! - Here are some suggestions:
Hops: Add optional hops for extra aroma
Sourcing: Use Philly Sour yeast
Gluten reduced: Add Glute Gone
Increased strength: Omit the water, or add extra fermentable sugar (malt extract etc.)
Lactose: Give the beer an extra smooth body and sweetness
Other additions: Oak, coffee, spices, orange peel, fruit/puree, cocoa nibs...
FWK Creative IPA Suggestions for hops and yeast:
As mentioned, we want to encourage experimentation. Nevertheless, it can be good and reassuring to have some concrete suggestions, which can also inspire you to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions:
American IPA with fresh citrus aroma: 100g Citra as dry hops after 5 days, 2 pk Lalbrew Verdant IPA
If you want a more tropical feel, you can choose Galaxy or Nectaron hops.
Or maybe you prefer a more classic old school aroma? Then you can choose hops like Columbus, Chinook and Centennial.
FWK Creative also works great for using up leftover hops!
Feel free to read about what aroma each hop contributes, and choose what sounds good together - This is fun, and you are often impressed by new hop combinations!
General recommendation for carbonation:
Add 6g sugar per litre of beer when bottling, and let it carbonate at 20-28°C for about 14 days before storing in a cool place.
CO2 volume in keg: about 2.5 -
NOTE: Oxidation
Oxidation occurs when beer is exposed to oxygen after fermentation has started. Some beer styles are more sensitive to this, especially hoppy beers like NEIPA, IPA and West Coast IPA. Oxidation can lead to off-flavours and reduced shelf life, so it's a good idea to take some simple precautions.
Avoid all contact with oxygen after fermentation has begun:
