2.5 oz Centennial dry hop

The 10th Anniversary Ruination had Citra in the dry hop, that's probably where you were confused. Here's a recipe if you are interested:

Does this sound interesting to anyone?

I do not remotely
Claim to be an expert, but 4 ounces of that stuff will turn a 5 gallon batch into a Guinness dark and will really bring a burnt flavor (not roasted, burnt coffee flavor).

+1 try out 2 oz. first and see what happens...

Use 1lb carafa special 3.

A plus to this. It's debittered, and what is used in a Black IPA/Cascadian dark or whatever it's going to be called. Black patent malt should not be used in this style. Otherwise the Hops will be muted.

So what about the chocolate?

Would
1lb carafe III
be better than
.5 carafe III
.5 chocolate malt (or pale chocolate malt - not sure what the diff is)
?

Chocolate malt is a misnomer. carafa 3 gives all the color, some flavor, and minimal astringency. Best grain for black ipas

I just brewed this recipe BIAB and hit 1.080 og. I'm relatively new to all grain and this is the most efficient I've been yet. I double checked the reading. I tossed it on a 1272 yeast cake and within an hour there is massive krausen and it's bubbling like crazy! I can't wait to try it.

I am doing what someone did earlier and subbing 60L for 20L. When I went to my local homebrew store, they only had leaf magnum, no pellets. I talked with one of the guys who worked there and he suggested, trying zythos. He pointed out that Ballast Point's sculpin uses 4 different bittering hops and zythos is a hop combination as well. Well, that won me over! So just changing those two.

Really looking forward to this! I will post results in the future!
