Kooinda Black Ipa

[sponge]

I have a fermenter full of a Black IPA using a very similar grain bill to the one mentioned previously, although used galaxy, citra and chinook for the hopping due to my excess of all three of these hops

Tastes reaaaal nice from the hydro tube and will only get better after its kegged and carbed for a month or so I recon.

Really looking forward to this one and love the little bit of nutty-ness that the midnight wheat provides

Real happy thats its not just a seasonal grain anymore (IIRC)

Started drinking this keg last night. It is sensational.

It's the first beer i've developed with the right balance and fitting in perfectly to a complete flavour. Sorta the difference i get tween smurtos golden and my own golden. The seamless flavour that the Dr's recipe creates is definately not matched by my similar recipe that seems to jumble.

I'm going to put this into the RDB as my first addition to the knowledge bank here and proud of it i am. :lol:

I'll add a picture tommorow. B)

Was really looking forward to this one............guess what a f--king infection so my first ever attempt at a Black IPA went down the dunny :angry:

 

[chunckious]

Do you know what was the cause of infection Humulus?

Nah mate the krausen on top of the fermenter looked normal,when i checked the gravity and tasted the hydro sample it just wasnt right,so i let the gravity go stable and racked off and mate the smell was not good.Hard to describe just not right so i bit the bullet and down the dunny it went.
I could have had a slip up in my cleaning/sterilization dont know,the the old fermenter went into the bin and so did the cube.When i get a chance ill give this brew another go.
It was fermented at 18/22 max with us-05,i used frozen drink bottles to try keep the temp stable as my ferment fridge is at 10dg with a couple of pilsners in it...maybe the changes in temp caused it(bloody stupid weather here in Sydney)
Oh well its not the first but hopefully will be the last infection h34r:

Well just finished my last glass of this. The malt bill is perfect. I didn't dry hop enough I reckon. Will use NS next time as well.

I'm on my last keg, will be brewing again shortly.

i'll post up the next recipe when i brew it, i've made some changes that i want to try, but can also heartily reccomend the recipe as brewed.

I even put it in the database

Nice looking recipe, and I have all the ingredients except for the hops and dark wheat. Might give this one a crack soon. Think I'll sub the us-05 with 1272 though since I have it on slant.

 

[punkin]

Yes, i don't know much about yeasts and my palate is no where near refined enough to be able to say i can taste any difference. Use what you think appropriate as i have no idea.

Dry yeast is just too easy for me and i buy it by the brick.

 

[peaky]

The dry yeasts are easier/less hassle but I find 1272 flocs better than us-05, and I guess I'm just used to dicking around making starters etc. Either way this recipe looks like a nice drop

I'm keen to brew this for the Vic Case Swap, but can't access the Recipe DB.

Punkin, I noticed you said you'd made changes to the recipe on Page 1 of this thread. Can you please let me know what they were?

Thanks mate! I'll buy the grains I dont have this week & get it down on the weekend

 

[punkin]

You are very welcome.

Hi Punkin,

a couple more questions:

Do you do a d-rest & cold crash this beer & at what stage did you dry hop?

 

[GalBrew]

Hi Punkin,

a couple more questions:

Do you do a d-rest & cold crash this beer & at what stage did you dry hop?

Why would you d-rest an ale fermented at 20 deg?
