Title: Black IPA - Roast Barley?
Post by: admin on March 26, 2014, 09:56:44 PM
Anyone tried RB instead of Carafa in a black IPA?

Would only use cold steeped and added in the boil to add color. Mash with it and you'll end up with an American stout.

I cold steep carafa too. 300g per 20 litres.

Could always do a "dry taste" run. Cold street and dilute to the batch size you would be brewing. If it's still too roasty invest in carafa instead. Would be interested in hearing the results if you do.

Did it have a big roasty taste to it.

There's a lot in that book - where does it say that?

Still curious about this, especially after looking at this

There must be a heck of a lot of hops in there to balance out the chocolate and patent malt.

Hey Tube, how did your BIpa work out using roasted barley instead of carafa? Did it work or would it have been better to just get some carafa?
