What yeast did you use? I'm partial to White Labs, so if you used Wyeast I'll probably use the White Labs equivalent, but I just wanted to know what that was. Here's a White Labs ale yeast chart:<br /><br />http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/Styles-Ale.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-14062433584115643232011-02-20T17:04:04.471-06:002011-02-20T17:04:04.471-06:00cheers man, thanks for comin out.

If you brew this, just make sure to add the carafa at the very end of the mash (otherwise it will be more bitter and roasty). Or else if you do extract batch, they have this stuff called sinamar(extract).<br /><br />Cheers,<br />NickDank brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779478546239203006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-6622302656844923602011-02-20T15:51:46.491-06:002011-02-20T15:51:46.491-06:00Nick this beer was absolutely awesome at the meeti...Nick this beer was absolutely awesome at the meeting yesterday.

Although I haven't loved the commercial examples of the style, too sweet and roasty for my liking, I'm hoping that adding the Carafa at the end, and mashing lower (149ish) will get me where I want to be! If not, I have thirsty, thirsty friends that love hop bombs!Dank brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779478546239203006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-59970483380906828922011-01-12T13:13:37.680-06:002011-01-12T13:13:37.680-06:00Sounds like an interesting beer.

I like the idea of trying to tone down the roasted flavour, which is one thing I dont like about most Black IPAs, the palette gets too confused between the hop bitterness and the bitterness of the grain. Looking forward to hearing how it turns out. Great website by the way.<br /><br />BBBasement Brewerieshttp://basementbreweries.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
