Thanks! Enjoy it, one of my favorite recipes for sure!

I just ordered the ingredients for this brew today, hopefully they will show up by Saturday for a Sunday brew day. I ended up making a couple of changes. I subbed the Carafa III for Briess Midnight Wheat, the Amarillo Gold for Hop Union Zythos Blend, and added a pound of 2 row. I am looking forward to seeing how this is going to turn out! I love the CDA style, especially Hop in the Dark and Sublimely Self-Righteous ale. This will be my first attempt. Thanks so much for the recipe.

Brewed a variation of this again 11 days ago. Allowed me to use up all the 1/2lb if this, 1/4lb of that I had left over from previous brews.

This was really a "kitchen sink" recipe loosely based on the original that I like so much. Cocoa, vanilla beans, and malto dextrine made it in there!

down to my last bomber of this and need to bre this again. I love this beer.

How do you think this would be with some pepper in it? I've been tossing around the idea of a Chipotle pepper IPA, and I think a black IPA would be better for that. I'm thinking about brewing it as is, and splitting it after the primary fermentation with half peppers, half not. Ideas?

Ehhhhhh I think it's too hoppy for that. I'm sure you could keep a similar malt profile but you'd probably want to adjust the hop schedule. I think all the citrus would clash hard.

I was thinking that. I'm gonna plug it into beersmith when I get home from work today and see what tweaks I can make, shoot for about half the IBU's

brew this one as is and then make some tweeks to it if you think it needs it. I know that i will brew it again but maybe mash a little higher to bring out some more sweetness.

I think that the malt base for this beer is awesome but after using sorachi ace for the first time in the brew i cant say that i am a fan of its lemon pledge flavor.
