Description
  • This hop-forward beer recipe kit is modeled after the highly sought-after Ballast Point Sculpin® IPA
  • Bittered with Warrior® hops and finished with a beautiful blend of Cascade, Simcoe®, and Chinook late additions
  • Estimated ABV: 7%
  • Estimated IBUs: 62-69
  • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

Contrary to its name, Ugly Fish IPA is actually one of the most beautiful beers we have to offer!  Designed as a clone of the highly sought-after Ballast Point Sculpin® IPA, the Ugly Fish IPA is a hop masterpiece.  This beer starts with a very clean bitterness from Warrior® hops, and finishes with a beautiful blend of Cascade, Simcoe®, and Chinook late additions.  With almost 10 ounces of hops, the Ugly Fish IPA is definitely a hop forward beer, but does have a solid malt profile that stands up to those hops and helps to keep it reasonably balanced.

If you're looking to treat your taste buds to a beer that we think has been hopped perfectly, we highly recommend the Ugly Fish IPA!

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.067-72
  • SRM (Color Range): 6-8
  • IBUs: 62-69
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 7%

Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.  For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled.
 
Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

dennis O on Oct 30, 2018
I live in a country where selling alcohol is illegal in most places (like my town) and decent beer simply isn't sold anywhere. I've hauled 8 ingredient kits of this across the Pacific and have gotten it down to a science. I use a temp controller and an old fridge to make sure I'm fermenting at 18°C (I'm in the tropics) and add an extra 2oz. Citra while dry-hopping for 7 days. It comes out perfectly every time, some of the best beer I've had, much less made.

I was surprised how this one came out.
I was very excited to brew this kit because of all of the hop additions and the 11 lbs. of LME.

It came out like a Brown Ale/IPA hybrid. It's not bad. I enjoy drinking it. But if you're expecting a text-book hoppy IPA, I'm not sure this is the best option.

Beautiful IPA? I say yes.
It seemed too bitter at first, I get impatient, but a week of bottle conditioning tamed that to a good, but still nicely bitter, level. A simple way to get a really good IPA.

Sculpin ...Not exactly... but still good!
First off - recipe said 11lbs of DME - Only received 9lbs? Some one needs to update that, or quality control the order better. Spoke with creator of sculpin about it / not revealing the formula, said try 7lbs of DME and 1.5 lbs of corn sugar. 11lbs would be too much. Also apparently no Cascade in the OG recipe. Brewed with the provided 9lbs. added 8oz maltodextrin. overall very good beer. Definitely has more flavor than sculpin. Color similar. note - added 3lbs of DME @ 30 min. The rest DME at 10 min.

I love to hate this beer
I hate this beer! The finished product taste so damn good it doesn't last long and i have to cook sooner than I like too. Probably the best 2x IPA I have made. No need to changed the recipe follow as written and you will hate it to.

Ugly fish is good but not ready yet
Well I put it in the secondary fermenter and dry hoped it. Tasted a little and it is what I expected. So when it’s complete man I know I’ll have great beer. Oh yeah I will getting another kit. I’m a hop head

I never bought this kit before—largely because the name turned me off. When I finally read the description of the brew and discovered it was modeled on Ballast Point’s Sculpin, I decided to try it. Very good brew. I will definitely brew it again. You guys might want to consider a new name.

Great IPA
I have been doing all grain for a few years now, and when my equipment needed repair I tried this extract kit. The flavor is great, the hops are strong but not overpowering or overly bitter. Would suggest to anyone.
