My last batch was my first IPA and it turned out amazing (even SWMBO liked it and she doesn't like IPAs!). It was supposidly a clone of DFH 60 minute but unless the bottle I bought hadn't been stored well, it was nothing like it (not that I minded as I prefered mine). I tried to get the ingredients last weekend to do another batch but the HBS I was forced to use (long story) didn't have what I needed (made me realise how good my usual HBS is). The recipe is below with the potential alternatives in brackets. Can anyone comment on what the changes would do to my beer (I'm weighing up making something new against ordering the exact ingredients).
Original recipe:
6lb Light DME
1/3 lb maris otter
1/3 lb 6 row
1/3 lb crystal 45
1lb honey for last 10 minutes of boil
hops (equally divided in 3 and added at 45, 30 and 10 minutes):
1 oz warrior
1 oz simcoe 12.2%
1 oz amarillo 9.3%
dry hop (7 days):
1 oz simcoe
1 oz amarillo
Potential substitutions:
2-row instead of 6-row
crystal 20 instead of crystal 45
Chinook 11% instead of simcoe 12.2%
US brewers gold 9.9% instead of amarillo 9.3%
