Brew Review: Black Rock Crafted Brew-in-Box Pale Ale and IPA

- We review two brews in one review!
From the all new Black Rock Crafted Bag and Box Range we grabbed the Pale Ale and the IPA and dry hopped them with some great hops to get an American Pale Ale style brew and a West Coast IPA style brew.
Our take on the kits - super impressed. According to Black Rock these kits are the exact same product (repackaged for the consumer market) that is sold to micro breweries - meaning we get to use the same product the professionals use at home.
There is an element of flexibility that is lost with these kits but overall they make the brewing process super quick and easy for a home brewer and let home brewers more reliable get a great brew straight out of the gate.
Our vote: Big thumbs up to these ktis!
Might try the IPA next . Any advice how I can get my beer to hold a head better? Last brew (golden ale) was well carbonated but no head, not sure why. Cheers mate :-)
50 - 100g of maltodextrin may help
Thanks Andy, can I add that to any brew e.g. an IPA ?
Fair call on the head retention. I think I even said in my brew review for the Golden that I didn't feel head retention was the best for that kit. I found the head retention on the IPA a lot better. And the description that comes for the IPA notes the use of wheat malt for improved head. Suggestion from @AndyThom is fair - Maltodextrin can help foam stability. Will also add to the body of the brew. It's a non fermentable starch that is tasteless. If you use Maltodextrin I would add it when you mix your wurt - you can disolved some in a cup of boiling water first. Good guidance again with Andy on the amount - potentially consider the lower end of the range for your first go.
Thanks Russel, so if I do an IPA next add 50g maltodextrin dissolved in hot water to the brew barrel before topping up to 23 litres yeah? Graeme :-)
Or would you say the IPA doesn't need it?
