Hop Therapy Centennial IPA | All-Grain Recipe Kit | 5 Gallons
Hop Therapy Centennial IPA is a clean, bitter, Centennial-focused American IPA built around grapefruit, citrus peel, light pine, firm bitterness, and a lean malt platform. The goal is not a sweet modern hazy IPA; this should finish crisp, hop-forward, and bright.
Companion version: This is the all-grain version of Hop Therapy Centennial IPA. If you want the same Centennial-focused beer with extract handling instead of a full mash, see the extract version of Hop Therapy Centennial IPA.

Grain Milling
We automatically mill the grains included with SoCal Brewing Supply beer recipe kits so they are ready for brew day. If you want the grains left unmilled, please add that request in the shopping cart notes before checkout. We’ll do our best to support unmilled requests when packing your order.
Fermentation Requirements
Use a clean, sanitized fermenter with enough headspace for active fermentation. Pitch SafAle US-05 into well-aerated wort around 64–68°F, hold fermentation steady through peak activity, then allow the beer to finish around 68–70°F. Confirm gravity is close to terminal before dry hopping, and confirm gravity is stable before packaging.

Recipe and Measuring Notes
This kit follows a Centennial-forward American IPA structure inspired by the public AHA Bell’s Two Hearted-style formulation. Weigh the hop and gypsum additions carefully and reserve any small remainder.
Volume and ABV Notes
Mash efficiency and final kettle volume will move the gravity slightly. The target range assumes a typical all-grain brewhouse efficiency and about 5 gallons packaged from the batch.
Flavor and Brewing Character
Expect grapefruit, orange peel, floral citrus, light pine, clean malt support, and a dry American ale fermentation profile. Keep oxygen away from the beer after fermentation starts; hop aroma fades quickly when handled roughly.
Helpful Bottling & Kegging Add-Ons
Bottling this batch? Add powdered dextrose priming sugar and use our Priming Sugar Calculator for the actual packaged volume and beer temperature.
Kegging instead? Use our Beer Carbonation Chart & Keg Serving Pressure Calculator to choose the right pressure for your serving temperature and carbonation target.
