Hi Everyone,
I recently brewed an IPA kit from Brew west, (route 66, All American Double IPA 8.2% ABV) https://www.homebrewwest.ie/all-american-double-ipa-82-abv-6701-p.asp sadly had to make some last minute changes to the recipe due to restrictions with grain vol/weight (due to my mash/boil pot being only 20L) and substituted some of the grain for hopped spray DME.
Ended up with more of a session IPA ~4.5% (still fermenting) smelled and looked really good, no doubt it will be a nice brew but not the 8.2% I originally wanted and still have about 3kg of grain left.
With this in mind I want to make another IPA... from a kit using the manufacturers recipe..... no modifications just to get used to the process and outcomes and something I can build upon.
What is the "best" IPA kit out there at the moment, has any one any recommendations, I have read a few reviews and the Young's IPA kit seems to be a popular choice.
Ideally looking for something punchy, hoppy with sweet/citrusy notes, not bothered about ABV too much and looking to make a batch 20-25L.
Regards
Paul
The Festival Razorback IPA seems to go down well
have a look through this:

It's not been added to for quite a while bu tit might give some ideas
Agree. Had really good results from the Razorback kit.
Another vote for Razorback, done it twice now in quick succession and will be doing 3rd batch very shortly
