[Review] HBC American Double IPA mashkit

[LordEoin]

Cheers to Pob and The Homebrew Company for this mashkit to review.
It's the HBC American Double IPA mashkit currently at €19.76

The kit comes with 6.035 kg of grain, nicely milled.
24g leaf hops @60 min
46g leaf hops @10 min
50g leaf hops @ 0 min
Bruphoria centenial dryhop pellet teabag
US05
Whirfloc tablet
Instructions printed on A4.

22liters
OG 1.064
FG 1.010

Appearance: Gold/Light Amber - Clear with a little haze.
Head: White, pours thick, remains light throughout. Some lacing.
Taste: Clean and malty. nice hop balance with some citrus and pine. not overwhelmingly bitter like many american IIPAs. Some alcohol.
Aroma: malty aroma, light hop aroma.

Overall: A very nice beer that I intend on brewing again. Next time I'll probably sub out the hop teabag with some cascade leaf and then it'll hit all my marks for an excellent American IPA. As it is it'd probably score in the mid to high 30s

Looks lovely and clear.

I'm sure another few weeks in the bottle will get the remaining haze out too

Sorry to resurrect a two month old thread but I've just bought this from HBC and I'm wondering if it needs some extra hops or is that just an improvement on an already average DIPA flavour? How did it mature in the bottle?
Regards,
Sim

With the timeframes involved in brewing it's unavoidable that threads occasionally get resurrected

I brewed this again and dryhopped with cascade leaf instead of the included hop teabag and it turned out great.
It just needed that extra aroma hit.
It bottle conditioned very well

I also brewed this recently...but dry hopped on Galaxy.

Does anyone know what which hop is added in which order and the individual grain quantities. I like to keep a record but the kit doesnt make it clear.
