Yeast

DRY: 2 x Sachets of Danstar BRY-97 US West Coast Ale yeast – this will produce a very dry West Coast Style IPA.
LIQUID: If you want an aromatic yeasty East Coast Style IPA chose this one – GigaYeast Vermont IPA GY054
Method:

Mash – the brewer should do normal mash regime, mashing at 66 C for at least 65 mins
Sparge – once again the brewer should do normal regime at around 76C
Boil – vigorous boil for 60 mins
Hops: Add 20g of Nugget or clean bittering hops @60 mins, 20g of Idaho 7 and 20g of Chinook @10 mins
Pitch Yeast & Fermentation – Aerate well and ferment at 18C until FG is reached or terminal gravity is table for two days.
Yeast off and dry hop after primary for 72 hours with 3g/L of Idaho 7. If your fancy is double dry hopped AIPA then dry hop with 2g/L for 72 hours followed by a second dry hop of 2g/L for another 72 hours.
Crash chill and bottle or keg as normal.
Mature for 10 days before carbonating.
