  I think you can't make a beer without a recipe. It doesn't sound like you have much to go on.
  Why don't you pick an IPA from the recipe database or from a source online, there are hundreds
  of recipes ...

  I just brewed this a few days ago, brewing went very smoothly because I measured out all the
  mash and sparge water ahead of time and cleaned and set up the equipment the night before. A
  few alteration...

  So what do you suggest? I only have 8 bottles I could uncork them, pour them back into a carboy

  Well, I just bottled yesterday and after 7 months it was a spectacular failure. All the honey

  WHAT?!?! That is absolutely ridiculous, that you would think that but even more that a doctor

  Saccharomyce...

  For some reason every non brewer I have talked to finds the smell of hops disgusting. That
  could be why there isn't one.
