So I'm planning my next series of beers and I was a little stumped on what to brew. After doing an initial brew as partly a big yeast starter, I wanted to split that yeast into two and do two beers at a time to maximize the space in my fermentation fridge. The end of the line beers are already set at an IPA and my Fresh Hop Double IPA. I was planning an Irish Red before the Double IPA, but what to do before the regular IPA? It had to be lower in gravity and not very dark. I could do a Pale Ale, but I want to hold off on that for a while. Then it hit me. What about a low gravity, session version of an IPA around 4% but full of hop bitterness and flavor? Here it is... IPA Lite.
