Has anyone tried a SMASH IIPA?
I agree with 944, DIPA is about hops, not roastyness. A roasty IIPA wound be terrible.
I would do 2-row and 8-10oz of cent.

mash real low, 148-149
India Black Ale is one of my favorite styles of beer. Amazing stuff -- but far removed from regular IIPAs.
I like India Black Ales too, but that style is far different from a DIPA.
At least to me, a DIPA has very set boundaries. But thats what is great about brewing, if you like it go ahead
I should qualify what I meant with roasty... I was attributing the qualities recieved by any of the additional malts such as amber and caramel that give the soft subtle flavors that add to the base malt to the word "roasty". This is most likely a bad word for what I was trying to say, and usually would be associated with a darker beer, but since all of these additional malts are roasted more than the base malt, that is where it came from for me.
