This is based on the Session IPA by Fourpure which I have had on draught and really enjoyed (not so much from the cans but hey ho). No idea if it will be close to the original but the smell of all those hops when I brewed it yesterday has me quite excited about this one!
Had a nice leisurely brewday and all went well, trying out Wyeast 1272 in this one to see how it compares to the usual US05 option for this sort of beer. As usual when I try and make a fairly low alcohol beer I over shoot my target OG and end up pushing towards 5%! This time efficiency jumped to just over 80% and OG hit 1.047, I have been using the minch pale malt and I think this has something to do with it (finer crush perhaps?). Anyway heres the recipe:

Re: Session IPA
Cheers, 1272 gets some good reviews. More floccy and flavoursome than US05/Chico apparently but still very hop forward. If that is the case I imagine I will use it a lot more....

Re: Session IPA
I have been using WY1272 for a few brews now, at the warmer end of the fermentation range (22C), for fruity IPAs. I really like it. Starting to experiment with the fermentation temp now, to see what else it can do.
YEAST STRAIN: 1272 | American Ale II™
Back to Yeast Strain List
With many of the best qualities that brewers look for when brewing American styles of beer, this strain’s performance is consistent and it makes great beer. This versatile strain is a very good choice for a “House” strain. Expect a soft, clean profile with hints of nut, and a slightly tart finish. Ferment at warmer temperatures to accentuate hop character with an increased fruitiness. Or, ferment cool for a clean, light citrus character. It attenuates well and is reliably flocculent, producing bright beer without filtration.
Origin:
Flocculation: Medium
Attenuation: 72-76%
Temperature Range: 60-72F, 15-22C
Alcohol Tolerance: 10% ABV
Styles:
American Amber Ale
American Brown Ale
American IPA
American Pale Ale
American Stout
Blonde Ale
Fruit Beer
Imperial IPA
Wood-Aged Beer

Re: Session IPA
I have it at 19.5c at the moment, appears to have thrown up and mostly dropped the krausen in the first 24hrs but otherwise a fairly gentle ferment at the moment. Brewfridge smells like fruitsalad!
