I'm just a beginner brewer, I have done just 5 batches of all-grain beer, some Hefe-Weizens, APA and an Irish Red Ale.

For my next all-grain beer I would like to make an IPA recipe. But the two best IPAs I have ever tasted is the Fuller's IPA and Brooklyn East IPA, I think this two beers are pretty close in taste, being Brooklyn's slightly strongest in hop taste.

I would like to know what kind of hop I have to use to get Fuller's IPA hop taste and aroma.

Someone have an idea?

Tips for my first IPA are welcome too!

I wasn't aware that Fullers made an IPA. I couldn't find it at the Fullers website. Fullers being a UK based brewery I'd suggest looking into East Kent Goldings hops, and Fuggles hops. Both are UK varieties used in many English style ales.

Willamette is a good US substitute for either of these. – Rich Armstrong May 11 '10 at 15:11
Brooklyn's East India Pale Ale is an English-style IPA, so brewchez is right on the money. – Rich Armstrong May 11 '10 at 17:00
I'm planning to use about 60gr of Fuggle (4.3%aa) 60 min, 40gr of U.S Golding (5.8%aa) 15 min and 30gr of Cascade (5.4%aa) 5 min. In a 20L batch. What do you think? – loop0 May 12 '10 at 14:28
You'll find Fuller's IPA half way down this page - fullers.co.uk/rte.asp?id=175 They are also doing one at the moment called Bengal Lancer, which is really nice and has that classic Fuller's marmalade thing going on. – fatboab May 21 '10 at 9:02
