Alcohol content according to my calculations is pretty high at 7.29 ABV which isn't a bad thing. I've never dry hopped with challenger hops before and can't really recall seeing many recipes that call for it. I figured I'd give it a go as it is apparently |

| The color is a little light for an IPA. Regardless, It is a tasty beverage. |

Just tried a bottle of this today and the aroma is very light... I'm actually kind of disappointed. Hey.... I tried something new (dry hop w/ challenger) perhaps that works with other styles... anyone have any idea? perhaps add an oz. of cascades as dry hop? I dunno... I'll try it out another time and report back. Other than the light aroma, it is very tasty.. Nice bitterness and the high alcohol content isn't overpowering.

I'm down to 2 bottles of this brew and am going to convert it to all-grain as I only brew all-grain now. I mentioned before that I was disappointed. I don't know what I was thinking.. this is a tremendous beer and 5 gallons only lasted 3 or 4 weeks. The goal was to make an english IPA and I certainly succeeded. -Neb |

I am experimenting with dry hopping myself. I just finished brewing up a batch of an americal IPA. I tried to emulate Avery's IPA. I also got a pretty high OG with 1.077. I used 7LBS DME and 1/2 dark crystal and 1/2 wheat malt. Used Nugget, Centennial and Styrian Goldings hops. I'm going to try dry-hopping with 1 1/2 OZ Centennial as I was looking for a citrusy aroma. Did you use hops pellets, plugs or leaves? That could affect how much oils got inpregnated in the brew. I also think the dark crystal malt gave a much darker hue than the last IPA I tried with light crystal. |
