Hi,
I'm new to brewing, have just done 4 batches from various kits that have turned out thoroughly enjoyable - a lager, a bock, a dark ale, and a Mexican cerveza.
I'd like to do an IPA for my 5th beer. Black Rock do an East India Pale Ale kit. I'd like to do one with a higher alcohol content, as per the traditional IPA. I'm not brave enough, nor have the gear to do a mash (if that's the right term?), so I'm wondering if anyone can give me headsup if this can be done from a kit, or if I'll kill it or make it taste nasty?
I've googled this quite a bit, but can only find recipes for higher content IPA's by doing a mash or partial mash.
Many thanks,
