Recipe kit in cooperation with the Swedish brewery Apex Brewing Company, for brewing 20 liters of intensely hoppy IPA.
In their own words:
We are Apex Brewing Company. We are the pinnacle of aroma-driven, fresh, intense and hoppy beers. What we might lack in size we make up for in flavor.
So now you understand why this is a perfect recipe kit for you to brew at home, and then try it against the original Helios IPA from Örebro.
The hop varieties Citra and Mosaic gives this beer lovely juicy aromas of pineapple and grape fruit, balanced by a mild bitterness and a creamy pale malt base.

For improved beer clarity, we recommend using finings in the wort boil.
Protafloc attracts haze-forming particles and settles out during chilling, making it easier to separate it from the clear wort. This results in a beer with less haze.
