Hey all,
I am using a Coopers IPA pre-hopped can and wanted to do some additional hopping to improve on it.
I was looking at possibly adding 2 oz. of Amarillo and 2 oz. of Centennial to boil for 30 minutes or less for flavoring additions.
I was also planning to dry hop after the primary fermentation subsides with 1 oz. of Amarillo for about 1 week.
I am a relatively new brewer and am new to adding hops altogether.
I also have the following types of hops if changes would be better (I am aware that some of these are said to have no place in an IPA):
Fuggle- 2 oz
Saaz- 2 oz
Cascade- 4 oz
Kent Golding- 4 oz
Styrian Golding- 4 oz
Ahtanum- 6 oz
Northdown- 4 oz
Chinook- 4 oz
Amarillo- 4 oz
Centennial- 4 oz
Along with additional hopping, I plan to add 1 lb. of Clear Candy Sugar (because 3 lbs. were purchased for me as Christmas gifts and I hate to see it go to waste) and 1 3.3 lb. can of Light LME.
I plan to pitch two packs of the Coopers Ale Yeast that I have on-hand because I have no suitable IPA liquid yeast.
Any words of wisdom would be spectacular on this.
