Hi all,

My usual is the tin, 1kg LDM, some grains, have used many hops in past but after something new.

G'day SteveL. 🙂

The Coopers DIY team have developed quite a few IPA's. Their "Hop Slam" versions have become quite popular. (see linky below)

Take the time to look at the flavour & aroma descriptions listed in each version as it will help you to decide on a version that suits what you are after.

I've made a couple of them & both were terrific.

Cheers & good luck with whatever you decide to put down.

Lusty.

Thanks Lusty, have made a few of those myself and really enjoyed them, the last was the Bramling Cross version.

Have also done IPA with moteuka and a couple of others, leaning towards trying mosaic for the first time with the next one,

Cheers!

Mosaic is one of my favourite hops. I developed a really nice Amber Ale recipe around it. It works really well (IMHO) off of a citrus based hop. The current Coopers IPA kit reportedly uses cascade prominently in it's mix that should work well with a flameout steep of Mosaic in conjunction with a 50gm+ dry hop of it as well.

I admit I haven't brewed with the new American orientated IPA kit, but many other brewers are very complimentary of it.

Cheers & good luck with the planned brew.
