So Whats Brewing?

[Rockfish9]

in the spirit of keeping the thread alive..I'll post up ,my latest brew..

I brewed up a black IPA ( I know it's an oxymoron to pure brewing/drinking purists) I got the recipe from Great Fermntations…

recipe lists ABV @ 5.4 - 7.2 IBU @ 63 -68 SRM @ 30 -34

OG @ 1.060 -1.071 ( I graded out @ 1.068) and FG @1.016-1.019..

it's hop heavy with Simco, Cascade Cryo,Ekuanot Cryo and a dry hop of Citra Cryo..it smells awesome.. we will see how it turns out after the dry hop and bottling...

Just finishing off my Black IPA. One of my favorite styles and my batch was pretty darn good.

On to Saison DuPont if I can get any of the online stores to deliver the yeast. Been two weeks of screw ups so far, but I think all will be delivered by Thursday for next weekend brewing.

Just have to figure out my water profile and brew it.

Nice, mines got another week in the fermenter. then it gets transferred and dry hopped..
I have multiple salt water aquariums so I had a RO/DI system that i.use for brewing, it takes my 9.6 tap water to 7.2, a teaspoon of gypsum brings 6.5 gallons to 5.4..

So, I open the first bottle tonight... first thing that hits you is the aroma..the mouth feel is awesome, with a great malt flavor, followed by a faint (and pleasant)bitterness .. its a bit boozy, but I like it.
.I enjoyed it so much poured a warm one.. it was still good... but now I'm on the couch for the night.. no.molesting fish on this day.

Looks like it has some decent structure in the head. Mouthfeel?

I like it alot,,nice dry finish, just enough bitterness to make you want another.

Just opened the first Belgian XXX..it kicks like a mule, has a dry spicey finish... wish I had chilled
