Hi. I'm new to brewing at home. I have some chemistry background as well as some lab and quality control career experience. I have been making wine from kits for a few years now and I recently hacked a stout kit to make a Cascadian Dark Ale which turned out pretty good. I have a hacked IPA kit that turned out good. I have an all grain batch BIAB of 3 gallons. Here is my recipe and directions Let me know what you think.
Dean’s Black IPA 3 gallons
1. 6 lbs(2721 grams) 2 row malt
2. 0.96 lbs(434 grams) caramel malt 80L
3. 0.392 lb(178 grams) Carafa III malt
4. 0.392 lbs(178 grams) chocolate malt
5. 0.5 lbs(227 grams) quick oats
6. 1 oz cascade hops 60 min
7. 1.5 oz cascade hops 5 min
8. 1.5 oz cascade hops 2 min
9. 1 oz dry hop for 7 days
10. Heat 2 pots one with 10 litres (2.64 gallons mash at 156 degrees F) one for sparge with 6 litres (1.58 gallons at 158 degrees F)
11. Alternatively mash more grain and add water to primary fermentor until volume is at 3.17 Litres and OG is at 1.061
12. Keep the mash at 152 to 154 degrees for 1 hour.
13. 4.22 gallons into boil kettle and boil for 1 hour
14. Rehydrate yeast by placing in 100ml of 30 to 35 degree C water for 15 minute
15. Cool wort to 21 degrees C and siphon into primary fermenter
16. Stir yeast and pour into primary fermenter
17. Aerate and attach blow off tube to small container filled with water(Glad I did this)
18. Cost $1.32 per 500 ml beer(not including electricity, sanitizer etc. just grain hops and yeast)
Batch Size 3.17Gallons
Boil Size 4.20Gallons @ 60 min
OG 1.070
FG 1.014
Color 43.8° SRM
Efficiency75%
Bitterness 41.6 IBU (tinseth)
BG:GU 0.60
Alcohol 7.2% ABV
Calories 235 per 12oz
Tasted at transfer to secondary.
Appearance- Nice and dark,
Aroma – nice hoppy stouty aroma
Flavour – a little strong on the bitterness. Smokey coffee chocolate flavours as well as hops.
Mouthfeel – Not too thick
Finish – a little bitter but no real unpleasant aftertaste
Overall Impression – Further attenuation, dryhop and carbonation should make this an extraordinary Black IPA
