I did a Bramling IPA as one of my first Extract recipes... it wasn't bad, full on Blackcurrant.
I shall do another sometime, let us know how yours turns out

Will do, would have loved to keep it all bramling and I am thinking of dry hopping with EKG. what do you think?

I've not enough experience of dry hopping to comment. Its something I need to experiment with.

Just wondering if it will over power the barmling

Ok I decide the IPA need to be dry hopped and went with 30g of EKG!

Should be good
I'll have to get some more Bramling Cross and do my own.

Still haven't really tried BX, not in a single hop brew anyway.... must give them a go at some point. Hope this works out well!

Its smelled quite fruity, dark fruit's so I am hoping this is the bramling cross, I will find out next week when I keg it up

You don't need much Bramling X to get the blackcurrant thing going. I don't think your dryhops will mask them much, so happy days! I used them last year in an IPA and initially they were a bit on the strong side for me but mellowed nicely over a few months. I also used them in my most recent IPA Damn the expense Mid Atlantic. Only used an oz in for the last minute.

Ah thanks pantsmachine

I tried a single hop brew with it and to be honest I think it needs something else, I am going to try it with challenger next.
