Sarah has had a request on deck for quite a while: Cascadian Dark Ale (CDA, aka Black IPA)\u00a0\ud83d\ude42 Inspired somewhat by Hop in the Dark, as well as a few recipes on HBT, and given what’s on-hand at home and at Nepenthe, I cobbled\u00a0this together.<\/p>\n
Recipe Type:<\/strong>\u00a0All-Grain Mash:<\/p>\n 8# Rahr 2row Mashed in with 3.8g of water at 164* into the red round mash tun. At 5 and 20 minutes post-mash, temperature held steady at 151*<\/p>\n Hop\/addition Schedule:<\/p>\n 4 oz CTZ (17.5% AAU) added, 8g a minute, from 15 minutes to the end of the boil<\/p>\n 1 whirlfloc added at 10 minutes, with the immersion chiller<\/p>\n Cold steeped (start: 1:15p) in 5 quarts of room temperature for 8 hours, then held at 170* for 10 minutes, then cooled and added to the fermenter:<\/p>\n 1# black malt (dehusked) after 2nd runnings (of 3), 1.029G at 135* (corrected to 1.043) UPDATE 5\/16\/14: racked 6+ gal to 2ndary, dry hopped with 1oz cascade leaf, 1oz Columbus pellet<\/p>\n UPDATE 5\/26\/14: racked to keg, force carb’d at 25psi rocking the keg for 15 minutes. Amazing beer. Black as night. Quite bitter, but complex with a rich and silky mouthfeel. Hops aren’t as present as I want them to be, but this may be a water profile issue (i.e. fixable with water adjustments). Also, though my memory is a bit hazy, I recall Hop in the Dark being a bit maltier, maybe caramelier. I should try to be more true to the posted (and roughly stated, on Deschutes web site) recipes. Either way, good beer. Really gonna enjoy this one!<\/p>\n Sarah thought it was too bitter \ud83d\ude41 And I can see that. Not a problem for me because I like bitter, but next time: add brewing salts to accentuate hops, maybe add less hops for the late addition, cut down on the black malt (maybe 0.5#?), and add oats, munich, and maybe 0.5# more C60<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sarah has had a request on deck for quite a while: Cascadian Dark Ale (CDA, aka Black IPA)\u00a0\ud83d\ude42 Inspired somewhat by Hop in the Dark, as well as a few recipes on HBT, and given what’s on-hand at home and at Nepenthe, I cobbled\u00a0this together.
