started one today cant wait!

just stated a new one too, cant see how it can b bad!

mine is lethal, 1 bottle very drunk

ok so were drinking this from the PB after 2 days clearing. A little lacking in body but fresh and well decent . Fermented to .998 to. A decent kit but were gonna do a £30 one next time. Was a bargain though at 15 notes.

Yeah chippy it’s the dry white kit maybe they changed instructions now no mention of back sweeten.

Got you mate cheers for clearing that up. Don’t think my instructions mention back sweetening hence my confusion.

Am I miss understanding Chippy? Your saying don't add 3.5kg sugar to the grape concentrate? Surely this cant be right?!?! Just bought this kit for £15.

after reading this Im in for the SmaSH and have order the book too :)

I’ll be doing BIAB not sure if I mentioned that

perfect got it thanks @the baron

I would have thought I'd lose a lot more water than 2 litre? with grain absorption, trub loss and reboil,etc? Should me preboil not be around the 30lt mark? Also does "aroma" on the hop part of the calculator mean "at flame out"? Cheers.

Haven't bought any ingredients for it yet, just looking for a decent starting point for a citrusy hoppy even grapefruity type IPA. JUst bought a prima dona hop rhyzome from fleabay for poly tunnel. Should be fun to grow and harvest!

Hi all, based on your advice I have tweaked the recipe to this. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/edit/952577 :?::laugh8: IS this the kinda right direction for a nice IPA starting point?:confused.:

@MmmmCitra thanks for the input. You sound like you like the same kinda style. Do you have a goto IPA nice recipe to share. I think I'm along the right lines with these type of hops and would rather go late additions for more flavour/amoras. :)

Welcome Dave, I'm also new, a lot of questions are already answered in detail using the search bar has been invaluable for my many questions anyhow. Good luck in your brewing! What kit did you start with set up etc?
