Thanks Guys, I'm eliminating the 80L and lowering the crystal to 40L (only 1 ounce), and I'm adding a very small amount of Chocolate (4oz) and Black patent (1oz) to keep the color around 15. We'll see how it turns out. I'm pretty excited about this first IIPA, all I normally brew are IPA's...
Ive never used Crystal 80 in my IPAs, as I normally like a lighter color almost at the bottom end of the BJCP scale. But I am trying my first Double IPA and I thought I would push the upper end of the color threshold this time.
I am having thoughts about using C-80 and I wanted to know if...
I was at the dogfish head brewery and I heard them say that they use champagne yeast... not sure if that helps you. My wife wants me to make one as well, but I am having no luck finding a clone recipe.
