My fiance had bought me a Mr Beer kit that was virtually free. It came with a West Coast Pale Ale mix minus the UME.
The supply house I went to doesn't carry their stuff and so I asked the guy about turning into an IPA. I bought 1 1/3lbs of light malt extract to go with the extract, yeast, and booster it came with (makes 2 gals).
I'm considering adding a little molasses and/or honey for taste as I didn't get any additional hops. Any recommendations?
I'm not sure what this should render, but the guy made me feel as though it would be weak on taste, but have plenty of alcohol. I'm waiting for my first brew to be bottled so I can use the hydrometer.
I don't care much for light beers.
