How hoppy/bitter will my Red IPA be

[tomlad@gmail.com]

This is my first question, of no doubt many!

I've used the recipe editor to create a Red IPA, I wanted to go for something similar to a kit I did, Young's Red India Ale. It tasted zesty, almost grapefruit like, slightly sweet, quite bitter and very refreshing when cold, even at 6.3% abv.

Heres a link to my recipe - http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/r ... 75/red-ipa

Cheers

can you point to the kit you bought with its link?

its going to be a good mild hoppy beer, slightly bitter but not bad at all

How do I make it a more powerfully hopped beer? Would I just add more hops late on in the boil, or add more to the fermenter?

add 28 grams of each to dry hop

Thanks Ozarks

I'll get brewing as soon as my new Brewtech Brewbucket arrives.
