    Youngs American IPA

    My experience with this beer is, if it's carbed, clear and you like it, it's ready to drink. It will not really improve with keeping, and in fact if kept for a long time loses the impact of the dry hop. Was thinking the same, will taste test again in 1 week.

    Had it bottled for 8 days, cracked a bottle open last night to sample the taste. OMG!! What a taste! Hoppy, tasty, a drink to savour. Going to give it another week at room temperature, then into the garage for a week. So far it's had 2-weeks in PV, 3 days dry hopping, and 8 days in the bottle...

    Just tested hydrometer in water, goes between 3 and 4 units under 1000. So I think a my iPa is closer to 1010-11.

    Thanks guys, will give it at least 15 days before dry hopping The hydrometer is a coopers plastic one, so don't think it may be totally accurate Can't wait to try it, just a little paranoid of it going pear shaped!

    Youngs American IPA

    Hi peeps! Ive just brewed this kit(first ever). After 10 days in FV, has a gravity reading of 1007. But there's still a big krausen head on the surface. Going to take another reading in 2 days, if its still at '1007' can I 'dry hop' even if there's still a big krausen?
