Your black ipa looks super crushable! I recently brewed one with: 2row,C60, blackprinz,midnight wheat all into the mash for 60 mins, beer turned out fantastic. Keep up with videos and great beers! Cheers!
Nice. I almost used midnight malt for this one. I'll definitely be doing another and I always tweak my recipes a bit to see what works and what doesn't. Thanks for the support! 🍻
It depends on the grain type... I definitely don't do that for porters or anything else when you really want a lot of those flavors. I was doing it mostly out of an abundance of caution. I think you would get even less roasty flavors than I even got by putting them at the end of the boil rather than even putting them at the end of the mash
Since it is a late addition with the dark malts, are you not expecting many gravity points adding from it? Just color and limited flavor addition? I have done a black IPA before, but it was a small batch extract kit, so that really doesn’t count.
In short , yes, those dark mulch will not convert starches to sugars... It's really about color. With that said, since it's only a bit over a pound of malt total for the dark malts, it won't have much impact on your gravity. I use brewer's friend app and it has an option for late mash / kettle additions that you can check, I think that accounts for your gravity reading. I was a few points low for my original gravity compared to what Brewer's friend said... But not far off at all.
Great question! Although IPA does stand for India Pale Ale, each style has a BJCP (beer judge certification program) style guideline that describes the color (SRM) aroma and flavors for that style. The black IPA is called that because it is flavored like a traditional West Coast IPA(citrusy, fruity and bitter) only darker in color. So they keep the IPA name because of the similar characteristics even though it isn't pale.
For BIAB or all in one method, would you just put the dark grains in the last few minutes? Or still mix in with the room temp sparge water and then add it?
I would still mix it in the room temp water, then add the whole thing in the last few minutes. That will help release some of the color in the room temperature water first.
Cheers !

Had black ipa like 6years ago and really enjoyed it. Just haven't come across one since! Really enjoyed the video thanks again!
Yeah they are few and far between but a great style this time of year! 🍻. Thanks!

I’ve had a few black IPAs some okay and some fantastic!!! Definitely need to put this on my radar though for a brew day, cheers Dennis!!!
Definitely messes with you... Keep expecting a porter taste with the look of it... But definitely a crushable beer! 🍻
Happy New Year!!!!Looking forward to your next live stream Dennis…😊
Yes, I need to schedule one soon! I've been a little under the weather the last few weeks so hopefully this weekend!
Happy New Year Dennis, cheers! 🍻
You as well! 🍻🥳
I love black IPA's. Not sure of your reasoning on delayed addition of the dark grains. I have never had an issues doing it all at once.

So Im still fairly new to brewing but how can it still be called a IPA if its not pale?
