Mad Hatter Hazy NEIPA | Extract Recipe Kit | 5 Gallons

If you're a hop head, not brewing this beer would make you as mad as the Hatter. This Hazy IPA is bursting with hop character thanks to an irrational amount of Citra® and Mosaic® additions. Low bitterness, creamy mouthfeel, and loaded with citrusy and tropical fruit notes.

Fermentation Requirements

• Fermenter: Use a clean, sanitized fermenter with enough headspace for a healthy 5 gallon fermentation.
• Temperature control: Keep fermentation steady and follow the yeast or instruction-sheet temperature guidance for the cleanest result.
• Packaging: Confirm fermentation is complete before bottling or kegging, then package carefully to avoid oxygen pickup.

Brewing Notes for Best Results

• Steep specialty grains gently: Hold the steeping range steady and avoid squeezing the grain bag hard, which can pull extra tannin into the wort.
• Add extract carefully: Remove the kettle from direct heat while stirring in malt extract so it dissolves cleanly without scorching on the bottom of the kettle.
• Ferment cleanly: Stable fermentation temperature matters as much as the ingredient bill. Keep the fermenter in the yeast’s recommended range for a cleaner, more predictable beer.
• Package with care: Confirm final gravity is stable before bottling or kegging, then minimize splashing and oxygen exposure to protect malt and hop character.
