jgourd: why did you change the yeast in the 2nd version of the recipe? I made an extract recipe for a Black IPA/CDA inspired by Deschutes Hop in the Dark. It was damn delicious but a little too malty. I always use WLP001 and I heard WLP007 has higher attenuation and may ferment out a bit more...

After two weeks in the bottle this beer is delicious. Clean roast, bright clean hop fragrance and crisp taste backed by balanced bitterness from hops not dark malts. Its only 2 weeks in the bottle and we've drunk a 12 pack and are ready to brew it again. After comparing to a few other...

re HOPS: anything but pine. something that would dry hop well and play wel with cascade . I brewed this last night according to plan, with minor changes.. Added 1 lb corn sugar at end of boil to bring OG up to 1.080 (decided against the dark candi syrup when i tasted it. didnt think it...

I am basing this on Northern Brewer's Black Ipa Recipe and my love for Wndmer's Hop in the Dark.. I'm going for taste over color, Mouthfeel of the windmer's, (hence the oatmeal) and Cascadian Hop aroma. Seeking balance of bitterness with slight malt roast character. I'm not into heavy bitter...

Deschutes hop in the dark uses dark candy sugar and pale malt (not DME and corn sugar as in the northern brewer kit)......could i substitute dark candy sugar for the corn sugar at end boil?

Hey all! I want to brew an extract recipe that is along the lines of Deschutes Hop in the Dark. I hear rave reviews about Northern Brewer's Black Ipa kit am wondering how it compares to Deschutes? I would like to tweak the kit by changing the dark malt in northern brewer's recipe to pale...

I am a new brewer and want to try Northern Brewers Black IPA kit. People rave about this being excellent and before I buy may modify based on my tastes. Ideally I'd make something as balanced as Deschutes Hop in the Dark. Can anyone tell me how it compares? Seeking final result to have the...

Could someone please help me convert this to an extract recipe?? I'm new to brew and only set up for extract. I have to do 3 gallon boil and top off with cooled boiled water to make 5 gallons. Advice on hop utilization at t his volume would be appreciated. No need exact clone, but in my...
