English IPA • Extract • 5.0 gal
BE SURE TO USE MOUNTMELLICK MALT EXTRACT, IT HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF UNFERMANTABLES THAT WILL GIVE A NICE MALTY BACKBONE TO THIS BEER. THE IBUS ARE HIGH, BUT THIS BEER IS INCREDIBLY BALANCED. IF YOU ARE STILL WORRIED THEN USE TWO CANS OF MOUNTMELLICK AND THE BEER WILL HAVE LESS HOP BITE BUT THE ALCOHOL CONTENT WILL BE HIGHER APPROX 6.7 6.8 . QUESTIONS???? VSCARLAW@AOL.COM cheers!!!!!!!!
