Going on a brewing adventure and going for a Black Belgian IPA. Using extract and steeping specialty grains. Thoughts on the grain bill?
6lbs. Extra Light Dry Extract
12oz. Crystal 20
4oz. Crystal 75
4oz. Carapils
2oz. Victory Malt
2oz. Biscuit Malt
12oz. Blackprinz Malt (500L) - merely color adjustment
.5lb. Honey
Using Wyeast 3711 - French Saison
Then we come to hop issue. I love and lean towards citrus and piney hops, but am open to suggestions. Any opinions on great hop varieties/combinations for a Belgian IPA? I have a myriad of different hops to choose from. If needed, I can post the varieties I have.
Thanks for any opinions. Hope to do this one next week.
