Black IPA

Here's our recent Black IPA recipe.  I refrain from calling it a "Cascadian Dark Ale" becuase there are no cascade-like hops present.  We were going for more of an earthy hop presence.  Here we go:

Fermentables:
-8 lbs US 2-row

-1 lb German Carafa II

-.5lbs US Caramel 407

-2 lbs granulated white sugar



Hops

-.5 oz Perle 7.7% 60 min

-.5 oz Northern Brewer 8.5% 60 min

-.5 oz Perle 7.7% 45 Min

-.5 oz Northern Brewer 8.5% 30 min

-.5 oz Perle 7.7% 15 min

-.5 oz Perle 7.7% 5 min



Mashed with 3 gallons at 152F for 60 min, then sparged with 2.5 gallons 170F water.
The wort tasted delicious, can't wait to taste it finished!

New brews

Sorry for the lack of updates, the Bunker's been busy.  In fermenters right now we have a black IPA and classic Trippel using WLP500, which we also plan on pitching in a Dubbel next.  Gotta love the belgians!

Just bottled a KY Strong Golden Ale (added the "KY" because it included a corn cereal mash, as well as some apple wine and good ole sasparilla!  Expect details soon!
