Hi all,
I am new to brewing having done 3 brews so far. The first one was not so exciting Wilko kit IPA that was OK. Now moved on to BIAB Smash Citra IPA and a BIAB Smash Simcoe IPA. The smash Citra was bottled yesterday and needs 2 weeks of bottle conditioning while the Smash Simcoe just started its fermentation yesterday. Both were made with the Maris Otter malt as the base and I have another 2.7kg of this malt left for another brew but not sure what to make next.
As I am new to brewing I am trying to keep it simple so I can learn. So what would be your next move? Would you play around with different hops like a Smash Mosaic IPA? or look at combining hops? Maybe Citra and Simcoe or Citra and Cascade etc? Or look at a slightly different style like pale ale with different hops?
Currently I am doing small batch brews of around 2-3 gallons so I can brew quite regularly, every 2 weeks especially given we are in lockdown.
Any help would be really appreciated!
