I just want a hoppy IPA. Or best I can get from that kit. I meant light dry malt extract :)

Ok, I bought the Munton's Bitter IPA kit just to fill out my cart. I have left over from previous brews: 3 lbs of LDME 1 oz of Magnum Hops Safale US-05 yeast Help me add these for the best possible beer. Was thinking of a slow hops add over the course of the boil? Add all 3 lbs? Boil time...

Tonight is the first night I am getting drunk exclusively off of my first batch. It's the Midwest Cream Ale and it is good. I handed out 6 at work to different people cause I am really proud of this one. Thanks again

Turn off the lights and set a flashlight pointing down on the lid and you can see the foam vs liquid level without opening it.

I've been drinking my first brew all night. Midwest Liberty Cream Ale.

Here is a video I watched a few weeks ago about it.

I brewed it last night. The only changes I made were: Added 1 lb Light DME@ 20 Added 1 oz Cascade @ 15 (said 2 oz @ 2) Added 1 oz Cascade @ 5 (see above) Did not use the magnums. In the bucket @ 11:30 pm Bubbling @ 7a this morning Airlock smells goooood!

or would I better off doing a 90 minute boil? I think I might do this tonight batch.

So if I do half the lme as a late addition I will get higher IBUs?

Does 3 gal vs 5 gal boils really change IBUs that much?

I did the same thing last time. I used DME. http://www.brewblogger.net/index.php?page=tools&section=sugar for temp use the temp it fermented at.

Also what is the fermentation like with this one and the 1056? Airlock or blow off tube?

I can only do 3 gallon boils

Cascade 5% Perle 7.5% Magnum 13.1%

I had great success with Wyeast Headwaters Ale yeast.
