Hope so I'd really like to see the Black IPA Recipe.

Ask and you shall receive. Here's the Black for what it's worth.
I'm a newcomer to Brewsmith, so please excuse me if it's arseways!

The point is to share the recipes. For the Nationals its not compulsory but for the smaller regional comps like Wikkla then it is requested that you share!

No one is going to be castigated for not publishing the recipe but hey: If you got Gold in the Nats then why not share the recipe?

UNLESS: You are about to go commercial

[DEMPSEY]

Well I have shared my Monkey Butt Brown Ale and would like to see it commercial

Never understood secrecy in recipes. It's not like anything stays secret even in the commercial industry very long. Going pro has a lot more to do with procees and marketing than a super secret special recipe.

Absolutely.

It's nice for less experienced brewers to see what works and learn how to create their own based on trusted recipes that are peer reviewed.

[molc]

Something that would be a great learning exercise would be for members to brew some of those recipes and have them judged or tasted again to see how they differed as well.

You got it in one . There is hardly a commercial beer out there that started as one beer and is now totally different.

Not that my beers are any good, but I am in the habit of listing the ingredients on my bottle labels.
It is useful at a tasting when someone asks 'WTF did you put in that!'. I then point at the label

Cheers. Looks good, might add it to the list. Quick question though are the measured gravities, etc accurate or just the BS default?

[Qs]

Actually sorry here's another question Helmet. Was it really only 15 IBUs? How does an 15 IBU Black IPA win a gold medal?

[helmet]

Sorry, I never adjusted the gravity readings. OG was 1065 and FG was 1018.
As for the IBU, I couldn't tell you. Like I say I'm new to BS and may well have fupped something up along the way.

[Qs]

Takes a bit of getting to know alright. I assume it was bitter though yeah?

[helmet]

Bitter enough anyway! I just ran the numbers again and it came in at 47.
