Thanks, a great easy to follow guide! I have just followed this to make 15l, I used Citra and put in the extra hops as per the guide. One question though, would adding more hops by dry hopping make this too hoppy? I have 100g and have used around 45g for this, just wondering if using the...

Thanks everyone 👍

Hi I am reading Home Brew Beer by Greg Hughes. On page 56 under Using Malt Extract, it reads as if you can boil 10l but then expand up to 27. It is not clear from reading how, am I misread this? Is it possible? Gareth

Thanks everyone for input, will start with Cilbit's guide until I get used to what I am doing.

Someone gave it to me, I have measured it and it hold dead on 12l

Happy to say this all worked out, tried first bottle last night and all is good :-) Having done this one twice now, am wondering whether to do a 3rd or try something else. Are there any other hoppy IPA's just as good? What is the Youngs APA like? Keep reading about Cwtch too, is that...

Thank You, here's hoping. It's looking pretty lifeless at the moment but with a bit of luck it should be ok.

Hi I wonder if you can help. I am attempting my 2nd batch of Youngs American IPA and after 8 days, there is very little airlock activity. I have checked and gravity is at 1.010 though. There is definitely frothing on the top and around the side of the barrel. It has been stored at about...
