Hi everyone,
I do have a black IPA into my fermentor that I just dry hopped... I also took a gravity reading and the color was kinda brownish to me... I already made a lot of dark beers recipes and I cant remember if they were looking like this.
It might be because of the yeast and hops still in suspension. The only thing is... my 2L starter... I pitched the complete thing and I use Pale Ale DME to make the starter... So in Beersmith this 2L of clearer wort isnt calculated...
I used 1 pounds of Blackprinz Briess malt and 3oz of Chocolate malt I had laying around....
11lbs pale malt
1 lbs Vienna malt
1 lb cara/crystal 60L
1 lb organic cane sugar
1 lb Blackprinz
3 oz Chocolate malt
If I ever want to make it darker... can I do a cold infusion of Blackmalt.. boil it and put it in my fermentor....
Thanks !
