DK's Black IPA

Ale - India Pale Ale
All Grain

Brewer's Notes

The Cascade is actualy 30g of **Citra**, dry hop for 7 days after 7 days of fermentation.
Drink quick as I found the citra dissipates quickly.
Let me know if you do brew this, I'm always looking to improve the recipe.

Looks very nice DK.

Over how long did you notice the citra profile decreasing???

Cheers

It had huge citra flavour the first couple of weeks, then all of a sudden it dropped heaps in the third week, the bottled beer faired much better than the kegged though.( although the keg lasted only 4 weeks!!)

Our first black was not hoppy enough. We were short on time and used a tea. The second one was much better. We dry hopped and used hop tea in the second one. The combination seems to even out how long the hop taste lasts.

May be something to try next time. I would not cut the dry hop much, just add more with the tea.
