The citra plays lovely with the bit of roast that comes through from the late mash addition of the carafa.
Best call in and check it out! I love a black IPA
Interested in this one but i use the BIAB method. Any suggestions on how i would add the late addition of Carafa using BIAB?
Throw it in the last 10 minutes and give it a wee stir before you pull it out should get you in the same region

Why are you adding it late? It's debittered, surely there's no point?
Doesn't add anything to the mash except color so doesn't need to be in for the whole thing.
I had a lovely Cloudwater black IPA on nitro in Brew Dock last week. Nitro really suits the style.
