Craft Beer at Home: Black Rock Classic IPA Made Easy.

This video, hosted by Pierre from Simple Home Brew, showcases the process of brewing a Black Rock Classic IPA using ingredients supplied by Black Rock Brewing. I share my experience with the brand, highlighting its high-quality extract beers and New Zealand-based brewing expertise.

Throughout the video, I walk viewers through the step-by-step brewing process, including:

Preparing the extract cans by warming them in hot water.

Mixing the ingredients, including Black Rock's unhopped malt extract and yeast.

Sanitising equipment to ensure a clean brewing environment.

Fermenting the beer under pressure for optimal results.

Transferring the finished brew into a keg for aging.

I also discuss my collaboration with Black Rock, explaining that while he received the product for free, he is not paid for promotion. He emphasises the quality of Black Rock's extracts, noting that they lack the typical "homebrew taste" and produce exceptionally flavorful beers.

In the final tasting, I find the IPA to be malty, slightly sweet, and low in carbonation, with a rich caramelized aroma. He plans to let it age further and later conduct a taste test with friends.

If you're interested in brewing this IPA, I provide a link to his local homebrew supplier for purchasing the kit. 🍻
