Brewers Best PSA IPA

Has anyone else brewed this kit?

Now and then, I like to buy a kit and brew rather than following my own AG recipes. I brewed the PSA IPA back in November and let it sit in the fermenter for about 4 weeks. I used US-05 for yeast. I transferred it to my Tap-A-Draft bottles about a week ago. I am really happy with how this turned out. Nice and hoppy, flavorful and with a decent malt background.

Anyone else have any comments on it? You gotta admit, Brewers Best makes some good kits.

The PSA was a special release they did this year. Part of the money for the kit went to prostate health research. The test for prostate cancer is called the Prostate-Specific Antigen test. Buyers Best made this kit using Palisades, Simcoe and Amirillo Gold hops.

I think you will be happy with the results of your ipa. Buyers Best makes good kits.

The PSA IPA is one of my favorites! I used 22oz. PET Coopers bottles and I'm down to my last six. I have another kit waiting in the wings though. My notes say; "Nice head, good retention, nice lacing, bitterness gone 3< seconds." In about 13 days I should be bottling and that will free up my 2 fermenters. I'll probably brew a Smithwick's Clone and the second PSA IPA.

I liked the PSA IPA very much. Good kit, good beer.
