This will be my third attempt at brewing up the Cascadian Dark Ale (Black IPA) and I dug my last two efforts, but I want to try and get just a touch less "roast" flavor. So I will be mashing in the Carafa III Special only when I begin to sparge in order to get a half hour worth of color, but no real flavor to speak of. I attempted this method my first try with some normal Black Roasted Malt and it "worked" though not really as well as I wanted it to. Still got that coffee like flavor. Here is the recipe as of now, it could well change a good bit, but only in the hops as I don't think I have much amarillo right now. I might run out.
Cascadian Dark Ale #3
10 Gallon
OG 1.080ish / FG 1.015ish / Color 38/ IBU 90ish
30 lbs of Two Row
1.75 lbs Carafa III Special (steeped the last 20minutes of mash)
1.88lbs Crystal 60L
1 Centennial 2.00 FWH
2 Columbus 1.00 FWH
3 Columbus 1.50 60
4 Cascade 2.00 60
5 Amarillo 2.00 20
6 Northern Brewer 1.00 20
7 Cascade 2.00 5
8 Columbus 1.00 5
9 Amarillo 2.00 5
10 Amarillo 2.00 DH
11 Cascade 2.50 DH
2 x US-05 Packet
Mash at 149 for an hour, boil 90min, ferment at 66* for three days and then ramp to 68* for 10 days. Dry hop on day 14 for a week and bottle on day 21.
That is the plan anyways :rockin:
