I just brewed this yesterday following a recipe close to the original after an exhaustive internet search. My OG is 1.094 so I figure I'm off to a good start. I've oaked some stouts in the past soaking oak chips in bourbon for about 2 weeks and then adding them to secondary for 5-7 days but this...

I just picked up the following from my local homebrew shop in hopes that I can brew a more sessionable beer with serious hop flavor, similar to a lagunitas daytime...I'm hoping for about 5% abv, let me know what you think. I'm adding a little rye for some spice 6lbs muntons extra light dme...

Thanks everyone, the bottles are stored in my basement whichisprobably closer to 60 degrees and at about 8% abv I can see why it'll take a while to carb. I did add 5 oz of dry hops total so I can see the cloudiness being an issue. Appreciate all of the info

It was actually the rogue brutal ipa kit, but you're right in saying that it sounds more like a bitter. I think I'll try to up the malt and late hops for my next brew, any hop recommendations for a really citrusy and piney finish? Also, what color dme to mimic stone ipa? Thanks

just tasted my first homebrew in 15 years, tried a rogue brutal bitter kit from brewcraft, and it's not too bad it not great. The kit only used one aroma/flavor hop variety, crystal, and it's not nearly as floral, and hoppy and interesting as my favorite beers (stone ipa, lagunitas Maximus...
