Five pounds of fresh Brewer s Gold hops per barrel were added in three different additions in every batch.

A great compliment to a sunny afternoon as well as an Autumn day.

Ninkasi Brewing Compnay Total Crystalation Total Crystalation is our dedication to the harvest and one of our most-loved ingredients - hops! Following our Total Domination IPA recipe, we add hops as normal for the first two additions. Instead of adding a final addition to the kettle, we run the wort through 500 pounds of fresh-picked Crystal hops in the lauter tun. Using hops literally plucked straight from the vine a few hours beforehand, this beer is super hoppy for super happy harvest times! Total Crystalation has even more citrusy, floral hop aroma, and big hop flavor than Total Domination IPA, which is balanced with a richness imparted by Carahell and Munich malts. This beer is a big flavorful Northwest IPA that maintains its drinkability, and as such has garnered great admiration from the novice craft drinker and the seasoned hophead alike.
