Just bottled last night an extra IPA. The kit was described as a cross between Bells Hopslam and Maharaja. It was supposed to be around 9%ABV, but ended up being 10.5%, the only thing I did different from the recipe was I was instead of adding "2lbs of corn sugar late addition (0 min)" - I forgot and added it when the wort was cooling, prob around 120 degrees. Had a nice strong hop flavor up front, VERY sweet, and ended with a nice hop that lingered. This would be a great beer if the sweetness mellows out. Someone please tell me it will, please.
*I also used 3/4 cup sugar (boiled in 2 cups water) to prime.
