Hi all, New brewer here, have brewed a Belgian ipa, and an American cream ale, both from kits with decent results. Cream ale turned out better. I have an English Pale ale and a red ale both from kits from kits fermenting now. Looking to brew a good ipa not necessarily from a kit. Thanks for any help and...Happy Brew Year!
 
I converted one of my favorite All-grain recipes to a Partial Mash, check it out. You may be able to follow instructions below and convert Litres to Gallons and C to F, but it's a good beer.

Recipe: Al's Too-Harded IPA (partial mash)
Brewer:
Asst Brewer:
Style: American IPA
TYPE: Partial Mash
Taste: (30.0)

This beer is not as hoppy as the Bells Two Hearted that I tried to duplicate; however, I believe due to First Wort Hopping that it made it incredibly smooth and those who aren't into bitter IPA's would love this brew!

Final take: This turned out to be an awesome golden-orange color, significant head retention and a very smooth IPA! It has the hop charactuer (taste and aroma) that you would expect from a premium IPA and a very pleasing taste!
