So in another thread about something totally unrelated the discussion arose about the history/myth that the IPA was developed in London as a beer to last the long voyage by sea supported against infection by high alcohol and hop content. This seems to be the orthodox understanding of the...

N00b question time and apologies in advance if this gives you the WTFs and/or the SMHs. I'm about to knock out a quicky, which will basically be a tin of Coopers Pale, tin of pale extract, some maltedextrin, a bunch of hops (clearing up what I've already got open, which I think is Chinook...
