Mango IPA - 20L Fresh Wort Kit

Mango IPA 20L Fresh Wort Kit

Mango IPA is a fruity, tropical Fresh Wort Kit based on one of our most popular IPA recipes. You get 20 litres of fully brewed, water-adjusted wort, brewed by Austmann Bryggeri and ready to ferment at home. The kit also includes Mango IPA essence, yeast and instructions.

Our Fresh Wort Kits always come with 20 litres of finished, water-adjusted wort from the brewery, with no need to add water yourself. That means you get exactly the flavour, body and water profile the brewer designed the beer for.

Characteristics and flavour profile

Mango IPA is a fresh, modern IPA with clear notes of ripe mango, tropical fruit and citrus. It is brewed on a pale malt base of pilsner and wheat malt combined with flaked oats, giving a full, silky mouthfeel with a slight haze. Citra hops and orange peel add fresh citrus and tropical notes, balanced by moderate bitterness and high drinkability.

Mango IPA essence

After fermentation, Mango IPA essence from Totally Natural Solutions is added – a natural, fully soluble blend of extracted mango and hops with no fermentable sugar. The essence gives the beer a strong lift of ripe mango and tropical fruit without artificial sweetness.

A simple process for a great beer

A Fresh Wort Kit cuts brewing time dramatically. The wort is already brewed and ready to use, so all you do is pour it into the fermenter and add the yeast. The Mango IPA essence is added after fermentation, either in the bottling bucket before bottling or directly in the keg when carbonating.

Fresh, professionally brewed wort

Our Fresh Wort Kits contain 20 litres of water-adjusted wort, professionally brewed by Austmann Bryggeri in Trondheim, Norway. The wort is filled into a Bag-in-Box with a high-tech filling machine, and the bag is then flushed with nitrogen to keep oxygen in the wort to a minimum. The wort is 100% ready to use, with fining agent and yeast nutrient added during the boil. Do not top up with water.

Frequently asked questions about Mango IPA

How do I brew Mango IPA?

Sanitise the fermenter, pour in the 20 litres of finished wort and add the yeast that comes with the kit (1 x LalBrew Verdant IPA). Do not add water. Ferment for 14 days at 19 °C, then bottle or keg the beer.

How much beer does it make, and how strong is it?

A 20L Fresh Wort Kit makes roughly 60 bottles of 0.33 L or 40 bottles of 0.5 L. The recipe gives approx. 5.4% ABV.

When should the Mango IPA essence be added?

The essence is added after fermentation, either in the bottling bucket before bottling or directly in the keg when carbonating. It contains no fermentable sugar, so it adds mango aroma without restarting fermentation.

What is the difference between a fresh wort kit and an extract kit?

A Fresh Wort Kit is 20 litres of fully brewed, professionally water-adjusted wort, not a semi-finished product. It is simpler and quicker than an extract kit, and the beer turns out much better. If you are considering an extract kit, try a fresh wort kit instead.
