AG#80 Podium IPA
7th time (blimey!) brewing what I consider my house IPA (one of these days I might actually nail it!). A couple of changes from last time:
Last time out I changed the hopping - it was a good beer but didn't give me the big tangerine hit I'm looking for so this time I've gone back to the original hopping,
I've used the grist from my recent
Get Even IPA. Same as that beer, I've reduced the strength of this one considerably from the first time I made it and I feel it needs a bit more than just base malt.
