First attempt at a black IPA (essentially this is a Cascadian Dark Ale). I make a pretty good Columbus/Cascade American IPA so I wanted to expand on that. Would like an IPA that has some malt depth behind the hops with black color being very unique for an IPA.
Please comment/suggest. These are the only 2 "C-hops" I also have right now.
UPDATED RECIPE:
5.5 Gal batch (All Grain)
11.5 lb 2-Row Pale (81%)
1 lb Munich
1 lb C-80
10 oz debittered black malt (Carafa III)
2 oz Chocolate malt
Mash for 60 min @ 150-152F
Bittering addition at 80 min and then Hop bursting with Columbus and Cascade for last 25 minutes of boil to get 86 IBU's with an 80 minute boil. Dry hopping with 2oz Cascades for 10 days.
BU:GU ratio is 1.3
Nottingham Ale yeast from 2L starter
OG: 1.068
FG: 1.017
6.8% ABV
IBU: 86
Color 32 SRM
