Brewed the English IPA from the bible and wondering what to dry hop with? Recipe is Challenger and East Kent Goldings so i am thinking either the EKG or Fuggles? Any help welcome as its the first time i have brewed this. I threw a Goldings Hop sachet in at start of fermentation so high hopes with this one. Will have a taste after lunch and check the gravity.
The Doppelbock i brewed is undrinkable, maybe i burned the grains or wort or both. Either way an expensive waste of time but will try again soon.
Also did a 5l Cascade extract brew which is extremely cack. I have 3 thermometers all giving different readings which i doubt helps neither does starting a brew when half cut.
The English IPA has quite a lot of hops added late and I doubt you will get much value out of a dry hop. I stand to be corrected, as ever, BTW, due to my relative ignorance.
The English IPA bears little resemblance to a US style IPA with a lot of "C" hops.
I have done slight variants on the ESB recipe, which I now regard as pretty "bomb proof" for getting you a great old-fashioned strong bitter type beer.
