Coast Is Clear is intentionally crisp, assertive, and hop-saturated, with an estimated bitterness over 90 IBU and a clean US-05 fermentation profile that keeps the hops in focus. If you miss the clear, bitter, aromatic West Coast IPAs that defined the style before everything went hazy, this kit is designed to scratch that itch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes full retail hop packs where needed, so the instructions call out exactly what to weigh for each addition and what to reserve.

Coast Is Clear uses Columbus for firm bitterness and structure, Simcoe for pine and resin, Cascade and Centennial for classic grapefruit-citrus character, and Amarillo® for orange and floral brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extract version uses Briess CBW® Pilsen Light LME with a small Caramel 40L and Carapils® mini-mash for color, head retention, and malt balance. It keeps the brew day approachable while still delivering a serious hop schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFermentation Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a clean, sanitized fermenter with enough headspace. Pitch SafAle US-05 into well-aerated wort around 64–68°F and hold fermentation in the mid-to-upper 60s°F. Dry hop only after primary activity has slowed, keep contact time short, avoid oxygen pickup, and package after gravity is stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetailed Kit Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBriess CBW® Pilsen Light LME | Liquid Malt Extract | 3.3lbs \u0026amp; 32 lbs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 Cans supplied; use 9.2 lb total and reserve the remainder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBriess Caramel 40L Malt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBriess Carapils® Dextrin Malt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimcoe Hops:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Ounces supplied; use 2.75 Ounces total and reserve the remainder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColumbus Hops:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCascade Hops:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Ounces supplied; use 1.5 Ounces total and reserve the remainder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmarillo® Hops:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Ounce supplied; use 0.5 Ounce and reserve the remainder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentennial Hops:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Ounce supplied; use 0.5 Ounce and reserve the remainder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentis SafAle US-05 American Ale Dry Yeast:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuslin Steeping Bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtract Recipe Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extract version follows the public AHA\/Zymurgy Green Flash West Coast IPA-inspired extract option using Pilsen Light LME as the available light extract base.
