Description
Ægir Ratatosk – all-grain beer kit for a Double IPA
Together with Ægir Bryggeri in Flåm we have created an all-grain kit for homebrewers who want to brew the Double IPA Ratatosk. No expense has been spared on malt or tropical hops, with around 300 g of hops in the kit. Ratatosk is a powerful, hop-forward Double IPA with a deep golden-brown colour, well balanced between malt sweetness and the fruit and bitterness of the hops.
Because the malt bill is so large, the recipe has been scaled down from the usual 28–29 litres to 26 litres. This lets you brew it on a Grainfather and similar systems without a double mash.

Frequently asked questions about the Ægir Ratatosk all-grain kit
