Hi all, I'm doing my usual trip to the brew shop tomorrow after work (yay for Fridays) planning on putting down a India Pale Ale.
I'm going to buy a Black rock can, wondering what hops would be best if any, and also what brewing sugars to use. I don't want it to over power the taste of the IPA just more of a aroma hops.
any help would be muchly appreciated.

Hi gazpchos0up,
I'd add 1kg ldm,200gm crystal malt steeped and dry hop with 20gm Fuggles or Goldings, yum.
Cheers
