Critique my malt bill? Black IPA

[Meat_Cat]

Hi all!!

Building a black ipa recipe.

Thinking:

80% 2 row
5% Carafa III
5% Chocolate
5% ???? (Candi Sugar)
5% Caramunich

 

[FastAndy]

the carafa and chocolate combo seems a bit redundant since they both doe pretty much the same thing. I would probably ditch the caramunich and candi sugar for just a caramel.

I would replace the Caramunich for some Crystal 80.

Hey all! Thanks for input. I kept the grain bill largely the same, but I subbed candi sugar for dark brown sugar. Still learning about redundancies, so, duly noted.

I've never used brown sugar in a beer so I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Cheers
