Alright. Went to my LHBS and just went for it. This is what I picked up for a 5 gallon extract brewed Black IPA.
6.6lbs Pale Extract Syrup
1lb Extra Light DME
.5lbs American 6row
.25lbs Chocolate Wheat
.25lbs American Victory
.25lbs Crystal 40L
2 oz Roasted Barley
.25lbs Cara-Pils
1oz Centennial
1oz Chinook
1oz Warrior
1oz Simcoe
1oz Amarillo (dryhop)
1oz Chinook (dryhop
I chucked all this in my Beersmith2 and it came out pretty solid, but a little lighter in color than I want (I know the beer color isn't spot on, but does anyone out there think I should add another .25lb or even a .5lb more of that Chocolate Wheat? Or maybe .25lb of Carafa II or Black Patent. I'm aiming for a nice creamy, not too sweet, dark black beer.
...Or should I stay as is?
Any advice please?!
