Planning on brewing tomorrow for the first time in a while. I found a recipe for a Rye IPA I want to try:
5 gallons/19 L, extract with grains; OG = 1.050 FG = 1.013; IBU = 58 SRM = 10 ABV = 4.9%
Ingredients:
3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) Light liquid malt extract
2.0 lbs. (0.9 kg) Light dried malt extract
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) rye malt
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) Munich malt (10 °L)
0.5 lb. (0.23 kg) Victory malt
6.0 oz. (170 g) honey malt
10.5 AAU Magnum hops (60 mins) (0.75 oz./21 g of 14% alpha acids)
3.75 AAU Fuggle hops (30 mins) (0.75 oz./21 g of 5% alpha acids)
2.5 AAU Kent Golding hops (20 mins) (0.5 oz./14 g of 5% alpha acids)
2.5 AAU Kent Golding hops (10 mins) (0.5 oz./14 g of 5% alpha acids)
1.0 oz. (28 g) Fuggle hops (0 mins)
2.0 oz. (57 g) Amarillo hops (dry hop)
White Labs WLP051 (California Ale V) or Wyeast 1332 (Northwest Ale) yeast
My question: is it possible to turn something like this into a so-called black IPA? Would it work if I just sub in dark extract? Would it be weird with the rye?
