So I'm soon brewing an IPA for a friend's birthday, and I'm planning to soup-up a Muntons IPA Bitter. Using a website that had a range of colors, IBUs, etc for the prehopped kit, I plugged my numbers into Brewtarget, added some specialty grains and Cascade hops. I no-chill, so it might be hoppier than my numbers show, but I don't suspect that to be a problem because it seems to be pretty balanced anyway. Here it goes:
