I made the recipe below based on Coopers Kilted IPA recipe - a slightly dark and very tasty brew. Even won a bronze medal on points at the Tassie competition.
How do you reckon it would go with an English Bitter kit? Totally different? Or a variation on a theme
Cheers,

Kilted ale
An adaptation of the kilted ipa recipe: more beer, more hops, more malt, more dextrose
http://coopers.com.au/#/diy-beer/beer-recipes/
FG about 1010. 25L
1.7kg Thomas Coopers IPA
1kg Light Dry Malt
500g dextrose
300g Crystal Malt.
30g Fuggles Hop Pellets in 10g and 20g additions.
25g cascade hop pellets
11.5g Fermentis S-04
Crack grains slightly with rolling pin in plastic bag, or pulse in blender and steep in 2 litres 80 degrees water for 30m.
Remove grains. Boil steeped liquid.
On reaching boil, add 10g fuggles and remove from heat, lid on for 15-30m
Add steeped liquid to fermenter.
Add Light Dry Malt and stir to dissolve. Add IPA kit and stir.
Add water up to the 23 litre mark, with hot water towards end to bring to 21 degrees.
Sprinkle the dry yeast and fit the lid.
Try to ferment as close to 21°C as possible.
After day 3, or once the foam has collapsed back into the brew:
- add the remaining 20g of the fuggles hop pellets and
- top up to 25 litres
After day 14, add 25g tasmanian cascade hop pellets
Wait at least 3 days before bottling.
