@CMAC How did it go last night?

No good will come of this thread. I tried ignoring SWMBO when she said I picked the wrong hobby and I have the scars to prove it!

There are several premium IPA kits : Muntons Flagship Hazy or West Coast IPA, Young's American IPA, Evil Dog DIPA or Festival Razorback. The list goes on.I like the American style kits myself. Can be tinkered with by changing the dry hops (Evil Dog with Mosiac instead of the kit hops for...

23L Young's American IPA. 9,942L (including Sprocker's kits & AG to date)

I did almost the same with a Munton's West Coast IPA kit. Filled to 23L instead of 20L by accident so I added around 300G sugar to bring up the ABV The result is a wee bit thin in mouthfeel but still tasty.
