I brewed my very first all grain recipe about five weeks ago. I tried a Black IPA (Black Betty Black IPA from Beavertown Brewery) from the LCBO and was inspired to try and make my own. I used the limited information posted on the brewery's website and made some tweaks based on research and preference. It's been three weeks since bottling and the beer is really starting to taste awesome. I used a huge amount of Galaxy hops (nearly a pound), so the aroma is an earthy, citrusy punch in the face! Here's a couple of pictures and the recipe for your reference.
