Hi all,
I brewed what I intended to be a black IPA, but it came out relatively sweet because of all the Malt (as it aged it got sweeter, it was actually pretty hoppy at the start).
Even though it wasn't as hoppy as intended, it was still delicious. I am going to brew it again.
I also want to try it once with less malt so I can satisfy my inner hop head. Here is the problem. I moved. The local place by my new house has nowhere near the ingredients as the place by my old house =( Now I have to alter the recipe. I have altered it with available ingredients and have attached the link to their website. I was hoping they would have more than the site indicated... but I went in.... they don't.
I am hoping you guys could take a look at what is available and possibly make suggestions on alterations. I have included intended alterations lower in the post, but suggestions are always great!
