So after many a year of buying pre prepared all grain kits , prompted by recent discussions here I have for the first time bought grain , hops and yeast in bulk..

For my first recipe I am looking for something similar to Bells Two Hearted IPA . I have previously brewed a clone of this , so I have used that as a basis for my version but substituted grain and hops for what I have available and also tried to adjust the strength down a bit. Water treatment will be as required.

So any observations on the below appreciated - End of day if it turns out to be a drinkable beer I will be happy!

Half hearted clone - 5.6%American IPA

As you already know...it won't be quite the same. Also you may have efficiency anomalies,good or bad due to a change in malt. Just do your thing and take notes as you can then adjust next time around. I'm sure it'll be a lovely beer!
