The goal is a Dank Session IPA somewhere at or under 5% ABV.
I want more body than a pale, but not creamy. The grains are already purchased.
Questions: Which DME? Amber or lighter?
Would you re-order or change any hops? I really want this beer to be a happy punch in the face, hop-wise, like burying your nose in a three-finger bag, with a tasty finish that makes you stare at your glass and want more.
Also would appreciate yeast suggestions, as I'm really green in that area.
thanks!!
