I just got done brewing an extract kit put together by my local home brew store who said it was very close to Stone's IPA. The recipe was:
7 lbs of Light Dry Malt Extract
.5 lb Crystal Malt 20L
.5 lb Crystal 40L
.5 Victory Malt
1.5 oz Centennial (bittering)
1 oz Cascade (Flavor)
Came out to about 5.5 gals. I took the OG and it read 1.082 at 80F. They claim that the starting gravity should be 1.063 with a final of 1.016.
I'm not sure what i did wrong. That just seems wayyyy high to me. If i hit the FG that would be 8.5% ABV.
