Experiment with Hop Varietals
Our Single Hop Experiment series is the perfect way to learn the characteristics of individual hop varietals. With this beer recipe kit, you can brew the same recipe, use the same yeast, but change one thing - the flavor, aroma, and dry hop additions using one hop varietal. This allows you to take two beers that are close to identical and pick out the differences in just the hop flavors and aromas!
What's Included
This beer recipe kit includes a small bittering addition of Magnum and three 2 oz additions of your chosen hop for late boil and at dry hopping. The malt in this recipe is basic and fairly neutral, the bittering clean and consistent, but the flavor and aroma from the late hop additions will vary; sometimes dramatically!

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
Our recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.
