Perfect clone

I've made this 4 times now, its a real crowd pleaser. Tastes as good if not better than the real stripe. I've been using wyeast 1056. I'm a fan!

Red Stripe Clone

This was the first batch I have brewed in about 20 years. I just retired and now have time to brew up a storm. The only thing I did different was dry hop it for a week with Saaz. It turned out wonderful. My son that likes only light beers loved this. I carbonated it with 131g of corn sugar. This beer made me smile.

Red stripe altered

I have altered this recipe and we love this beer. I add 1oz magnum hops at the beginning boil. I add 1oz cascade last 5 min of boil. After 14 days in fermenter and a final gravity of 1.010 I rack and add 1oz grapefruit peel and 1oz simcoe. 14 days later rack to corney. This beer goes fast. It doesn't taste grapefruity but gives a great smell.

Tastes just like the real thing, so close, better kegged.

I brewed this extract kit for my daughter who likes Red Stripe (summertime Jamaica thing.) It spent 10 days in the primary and four weeks in the secondary -as I had to wait for a keg to free up. Kegged it this past weekend, bought a six pack of actual Red Stripe and compared yesterday with a taste test to four people. It's very very close, amazing considering I made it as an Ale and the real thing is a Lager. Everyone preferred the keg beer over the original as it tastes fresh. I would make this one again. Great job AIH.

Red Stripe

Better than Red Stripe, after 8 weeks.

Great recipe!

I brewed this for my second batch ever. Awesome. I did a taste test with a real Red Stripe and my brew. Not much different. I don't think you could get much closer to the real thing. This is going to be on my regular brew rotation. I will be brewing another batch within the next week or two. I will be brewing at least 5 batches of this liquid gold this year. THANK YOU!

Thanks a Ton

Are you guys for real?! I''m a new brewer and I''ve only bought one AIH kit from you. I sent a question to Jason asking if there was any kit close to a Red Stripe because that''s my favorite beer. He researched a recipe and put together an AIH kit. A few days later it''s on your wesite for sale! Are you kidding me? What other brew site would do that for a customer just because they asked? You guys are awesome and thanks a ton Jason! I can''t wait to try it!

Q: I ordered a red stripe recipe. By reading trough the instructions it looks like there is a 10 min gap. Boil the hops for 45 min, and the last add on is at 55, what I am missing?

Asked by: Mario - 5/2/2016

A: You put the first set of hops in at the beginning of the boil and the last 5 you add the aroma hops listed.

Q: I got the White Labs 840 American Lager Yeast for this kit and pitched the yeast when the wort cooled to 70 degrees (after bringing the yeast up to room temp for a few hours). After 24 hrs, there was a steady stream of CO2 coming out of the carboy. I moved the carboy to a 60 degree room and 12 hrs later it looks like fermentation has stopped (no CO2 coming out). Does it take a while to start back up again? Afraid I may have ruined the batch...

Asked by: Dave - 3/22/2016

A: You should be fine, make sure to take your hydrometer reading before pitching yeast and later on down the line to ensure it is properly fermenting. A hydrometer will not always show activity, and could still be fermenting you just do not see it.

Q: This kit has just the one hop package. Im assuming 3/4 oz is added for bittering and the last 1/4 oz is added at 55 mins for aroma?

Asked by: Todd Abel - 4/10/2015

A: Yes that is correct. Use the last 1/4 ounce for your aroma addition.

Q: Is this considered a lager because red stripe is and do you have to cold fermentation ?

Asked by: AL - 7/21/2014

A: Red Stripe is a lager you are correct but we offer two ways to ferment this clone, either as a lager at colder temps or a ale at higher temperatures. The lager form will give more of the true Red Stripe lager clone but the ale does a very good job as well. It depends if you have experience brewing lagers and the ability to control temperatures to lager a beer. If not go with the ale option. Thanks!
