Mangrove Jack's Craft Series Pink Grapefruit IPA Beer Kit – Burn Out Bird

Mangrove Jack's Craft Series Pink Grapefruit IPA Beer Kit – Burn Out Bird (23 Litres)

Brew approximately 23 litres (40 UK pints) of vibrant, citrus-packed IPA at home with Mangrove Jack's Craft Series Pink Grapefruit IPA, now known as Burn Out Bird in the refreshed range. Inspired by the bold grapefruit character of modern craft IPAs, this beer combines sharp, tangy pink grapefruit flavour with the citrus and pine aromas of Simcoe and Cascade hops.

Expect a bright, golden IPA with refreshing grapefruit bite, balanced bitterness and a clean, crisp finish. The manufacturer's approximate strength is 5.7% ABV when prepared with the recommended additional fermentables.

Taste & Aroma

Bold pink grapefruit aroma comes first, followed by juicy citrus, subtle pine and fresh hop character. A smooth malt backbone balances the tangy fruit notes, while moderate bitterness keeps the finish refreshing rather than overly sweet.

What's Included?

• Mangrove Jack's Craft Series Pink Grapefruit IPA malt extract pouch
• M44 US West Coast Ale Yeast sachet
• Simcoe and Cascade dry hops (typically 50g combined in the established kit)
• Brewing instructions

Packaging may vary as Mangrove Jack's introduces the Burn Out Bird branding. Check the sachets and instructions supplied with your particular pouch. This is an ingredients-only kit; additional fermentables and brewing equipment are not included.

What Else Will You Need?

Additional fermentables are required and sold separately. Choose one of the manufacturer's recommended options:

• 1.2kg Mangrove Jack's Pure Liquid Malt Extract (Light) – for a rounded malt flavour and fuller mouthfeel
• 1kg Brewing Sugar (Dextrose) – a straightforward alternative for a lighter, drier finish
• 1kg suitable Beer Kit Enhancer – an alternative addition, following the kit instructions

You'll also need standard beer-making equipment, including a fermenter with airlock, cleaner and sanitiser, a hydrometer, siphon or bottling tap, and bottles or a suitable keg. Priming sugar or carbonation drops may be required when bottling.

Brewing Guidance

Prepare the kit according to the instructions supplied, then make up to approximately 23 litres. Ferment within the temperature range recommended for the included M44 yeast, and add the Simcoe and Cascade hops at the dry-hopping stage specified in your kit instructions. Dry hopping helps preserve the fresh, bright citrus aroma.

Before bottling or kegging, use a hydrometer to confirm fermentation is complete and the gravity remains stable for at least 48 hours. Follow your kit instructions for priming and conditioning.
