I have Midwest's Autumn Amber Ale kit in the garage, I'm probably going to brew it in the next week or so. I got it as part of their "buy 3 for $19 each" sale, it wouldn't have been my first pick but I wanted to try something new.
It's a pretty low IBU kit (looks like around 15 IBU) with 1oz Hallertauer for bittering and 1oz Fuggles for aroma. If I wanted more bitterness and aroma, should I just double up on the same hops or should I add in anything else? I don't anything about Hallertauer and have only used Fuggles once so I don't know what else would work well together. Most of my brews so far have been some combination of Cascade, Centennial, and Citra.
Ideally I would bring it up to more like 40 - 50 IBU and I wouldn't mind a bit of pine or citrus on top. Definitely considering a dry hop.
