SveinH Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hi, I'm a Newbie just about ready to bottle my first batch (Authentic IPA, with added 40g cascade dryhopping) and I can't wait to start my next batch! (of course I'm also looking forewards to trying the authentic IPA with some carbonation) I love powerful IPA, 2xIpa etc with lots of hops and punch. And was wondering if maybe I could brew something in the style of Brewdogs Hardcore IPA for my next batch, I'm not expecting a clone but that kind of style. link: http://www.brewdog.com/product/hardcore-ipa I don't yet have the opportunity to do a full-boil, so I believe I should use beer-kits to get enough hop bitterness, and maybe try steeping grains also(?) Do you think this would turn out ok(?): 19liter batch 500gram cara-crystal 120 (steeping) 2x Coopers IPA 1,7kg kits 2kg LME 11,5grams Safale US-05 I have 60grams of cascade and 100grams og chinookpellets, for late hop additions and dry hopping. This would give me an OG of 1091 (a little higher than the Hardcore's 1084) and ABV 9% (a little lower than Hardcore's 9,2%) Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hi Svein I plugged your ingredients into the "Kit and Extract Beer Designer" spreadsheet and got an OG of 1.102 and 10.6% in the bottle. If you do it to 22L you'll have 1.088 and 9.2% That's all I can offer, as I don't know the brewdog beer. But it seems to fit under an Imperial IPA.

SveinH Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hi Adam Thank you for the answer. I used the beercalculator for calculating these numbers http://haandbryg.dk/cgi-bin/beercalc.cgi I used 3400gram LME for representing the two Coopers kits, and 2000gram for the LME. Is there something I have entered incorrectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hi Svein I think I used light dry malt in the calcs, which gives a higher gravity - with liquid malt it's 1.095 and 9.4% in the bottle. 93.4 IBU's - you will def need to add some additional hopes to try and balance I think. I'm not that familiar with amounts of hops yet so I can't suggest how much to add. I think you will need some for flavouring though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SveinH Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thank you. Do you know why I don't get the same OG using http://haandbryg.dk/cgi-bin/beercalc.cgi as I do using "Kit and Extract Beer Designer" spreadsheet? Anyone with hops suggestion?

Pickles Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi SveinH I am a new brewer (about 2 years mostly brewing with extract cans, some steeped grains and hop additions). I am thinking along the same lines as you were in 2012 and would love to make an Imperial IPA. How did your brew work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikZak Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi SveinH I am a new brewer (about 2 years mostly brewing with extract cans' date=' some steeped grains and hop additions). I am thinking along the same lines as you were in 2012 and would love to make an Imperial IPA. How did your brew work out?[/quote'] My guess is considering the last post is over 3 years ago, you won't get a response... My suggestion would be try it and see but bear in mind big beers like what you are planning/what he describes above need some time to mature so probably don't even try it until a month in the bottle at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to try punching your OG and the age of your yeast into Mr. Malty yeast calculator, depending on what volume you decide on. I suspect you might need more yeast, and you should probably rehydrate it, and add yeast energizer too. That is all I can suggest. Leave yourself lots of headspace in your fermentor as it might be explosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'd definitely be pitching 2 packets into a 1091 OG wort. However I'm guessing Svein hasn't been here for quite some time as he only has 3 posts and they're all in this thread from 3 and a half years ago...
