So, if you don't mind posting the recipe I would love to give it a try. If you could also supply some of your info. OG, FG, batch size. etc. I have been looking at IPA recipes and if this tastes as good as you made it sound I think I'll give it a try. Did you dry hop?
,ok this is where i got all my stuff and how i did it ,go to ,by the way i am not an emploie or do not get any roylities from defalcos ,so ,go to defalcos .com,get the brew masters series coopers ipa extract,on the same site window order the medium body builder kit ,when it arrives throw away the yeast that is attached to the can of extract ,use only the yeast and yeast starter that comes in the body builder kit ,i use a pur water filter on my tap ,put two gallons of water in the pot ,bring to a boil ,turn off heat move pot of burner,pour in the extract stir till it is diluited then add two and 3 quarters cup of brown sugar ,pack it in the measure cup ,not loose ,pour it in the mix stir till dissolved add the lme that comes with the kit ,stir till disolved,bring back to a boil ,be careful it will over flow if your not ,bring to a good slow boil dont try to kill it ,at the point when it starts boiling add half of the hops ,stir it with a good clean stainless spoon keep the hops moving in the boil dont let them stick to the sides of the pot ,at 30 min.turn off the flame ,add the rest of the hops ,move from flame stir till the pellets are disolved ,cool to 70 degrees ,add the wort to the fermenter its ok to splash it at this point in fact i splashed it alot ,add the yeast add the yeast food to the wort then add the yeast that came with the bodybuilder kit.it is best use a blow off tube,or it will blow your air off and stick it in your ceiling ,i know first hand ,lmao,do not worry about the gravity reading ,as this will only add to your worries about ,hey did i do this right ,store your fermentor at 68 to 72 degrees ,period ,wait 10 days ,rack to a secondary carboy ,wait 14 days , rack to the bottling bucket add the priming sugar that came with the body building kit ,the whole little package ,stir very gently but stir it to mix in priming sugar ,wait 5 min ,stir gently again ,then start bottleing ,when you have bottled one third of it stir it again ,gently ,when you have bottled two thirds of it stir it again ,gently ,finish bottling ,all the gentle stirring is so the sugar for some wierd reson does not settle out during bottling ,i know it sounds goofy but just do it ,once you have bottle move to a controled room ,where you can pretty much keep the temp at 72 degrees ,plus or minus one degree ,on the third day pop the top on one after it has been cooled for two hours in the fridge ,it is going to be very bright tasting almost is going to take your breath away ,at one week try one ,it will make you dsay wow ,it is going to be good ,at two weeks bottled you are going to swear you are the best home brewer in the world ,but hey thats just me ,lmao,and thats how i did it ,and nope didnt dry hope while it was fermenting or in the secondary .truly yours bull
