My first beer was a premixed Northern Brew Chinook IPA. It is not bad, which means I did OK on the brewing, but not my cup of tea as far as taste goes. I am an IPA guy, and like Racer 5, Blind Pig, and others in that vein. So, my question to those in the know of the ingredients of the NB IPA, what can I do better next time to get it to taste a bit more like the IPA's I am used to?
Anybody have any recipes that I can glean from? I don't do the mash thing, just the boil, ferment and keg, so I don't know much experience and only have the fermentor bucket, secondary bucket (if needed) and the kegerator setup with a 5 gallon torpedo keg. I have seen Morebeer has a Blind Pig clone, which might be my next attempt, but since you guys are the pro's I am looking for a fairly easy IPA recipe that I can give a try to.
Any info for a newb?
Thanks all,
Dino
