Hi. In line with what was suggested by the others. I brewed a similar thing myself but whole grain. My takeaway lessons were: - Any decent base malt that is suitable for an IPA is ok. (guess you have to extrapolate to the extracts). - As per hops I added 60 min - 15 g Chinook + 15 g Simcoe for...

I do use chinook as bittering. My last single hop recipie is chinook and later additions of citra. It's great, 55 ibus

Update. 23 days, the right density but I had to throw down the sink the 26 litres. It got contaminated with something. I'll go for fast fermenters in the future. Beer tasted like worn out leather and wet wood. Foam just kept bursting. Awful. One possible source: the tap in the fermenter; it...
