Helllo all, Just finished brewing up my first attempt at a black IPA. I based it off the dogfish head 60 min clone and added more DME and hops and steeping grains. Here is the recipe.....
2 packets of US-05 dry yeast (rehydrated)
9 lbs Pilsen light DME
Steeping grains. 30 minutes
4oz crisp Carmel 60
4oz crisp amber
12oz carafa 3
hops
1.5 oz chinook 60 min
.25 oz chinook 30 min
.25 amarillo 30 min
.25 simcoe 30 min
.25 chinook 10 min
.25amarillo 10 min
.25 simcoe10 min
.25 chinook 1 min
.25 Amarillo 1 min
.25 simcoe 1 min
Will rack to secondary after 10-12 days and add the following dry hop additions
.25 chinook
.25 Amarillo
.25 sincoe
Original gravity came out to be 1.064... I was expecting more honestly perhaps with better technique the next time will be higher. Also I would have preferred warrior hops instead of the chinook but they were unavailable. This is the first time I have done any recipe that was not prepackaged so if you have advice then I greatly welcome it.
