Trying to help out a friend. He's scared that its going to be crap.

Watched the basic brewing video.

2lbs 2-row
4oz 60L crystal

55 min .5 oz Amarillo
55 min .5 oz simco

They were doing a pale ale

For the ipa should more bittering hops be added.? Same malt recipe you think?

buzbey · Apr 10, 2013

Yeah this recipe is crap

Mr beer kit

2 gallons

Partial mash on stove

Sorry 4 oz 60L crystal

buzbey · Apr 10, 2013

Is that 10 oz of hops at 55 minutes?

adamdillabo · Apr 10, 2013

Oh man I suck today .5 oz

WAYYYYYYY too much crystal malt, almost no base malt. Like 3+ lbs too much crystal malt. This is all-grain?

BlackGoat · Apr 10, 2013

scratch that, just saw 4oz, much better. Are you using one of the cans of Mr. Beer LME?

buzbey · Apr 10, 2013

Either up the base malt a lot or drop the hops down. Right now you have a gravity around 1.030 and 120+ ibus

Using the mr beer hopped malt extract for an ipa

Don't know what's in it.

buzbey · Apr 10, 2013

How many pounds?

adamdillabo · Apr 10, 2013

I'm not sure I looked it up thinking it was just one kind of ipa. I'll have to get back to you cause size and IBU's really varied.

If its something like this http://www.mrbeer.com/product-exec/product_id/1018/nm/Diablo_IPA1 you're starting out with just under 3lbs of hopped LME at about 70 IBU

buzbey · Apr 10, 2013

If your using what's in that link I would drop the hops to the last 5 of the boil so you get less ibus and a lot more flavor and aroma from them
