Black IPA...should it taste like an IPA and be black or should I/we be getting some flavor out of the dark grains?
Reason I ask is the last Black IPA I made came out w/more flavor from the dark malts than I expected as I only mashed them in the last 10 minutes.
Also the color came out brown instead of black.
Here is the 1.75 g recipe
4 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US 83.3 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L 10.4 %
4.8 oz Chocolate Malt 6.3 %
0.40 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - 57.1 IBUs
1.00 oz Malto-Dextrine (Boil 5.0 mins) -
0.50 oz Crystal [3.50 %] - Aroma Steep 5.0 min
1 pack Safal US-05
0.50 oz Centennial [11.10 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days Hop
