BrewDog Hop Fiction kit pimp

Post by Suffolkbrewer » Wed Sep 18, 2019 5:07 pm

Hi all

Only recently discovered Hop Fiction and fancy a go at pimping a kit as I don’t have a lot of time this weekend. What do you think of the below

Mangrove Jack American IPA pouch kit as the base
Mangrove jack 1.2kgs LME
Mosaic pellets
Cascade pellets
Chinook pellets

Planning to add 50g of each hop once it goes into the fermenter, then a further 50g of each hop as a dry hop 5 days later (100g in total per hop)

Any thoughts, am I hopping too much or not enough?

Will the yeast from the kit be ok, or do I need to look at another yeast?

Hope to get this ordered tomorrow for a Friday delivery.

Thanks in advance!
SB

SB,
Looks good to me.
There is a recipe on the MM site using Amarillo instead of Cascade, same quantities of hops.
I`d use what you`ve got. You can always brew again using Amarillo. :D
20lt brew?

Thanks WA

Ran out of time to order today, might see if the LHBS has these.

Like the idea of Amarillo
