Black IPA

[edisonst]

what about sinamar...or is it cynamar...anyways its a conentrated wort thats used by german brewers to give color without the roastiness. Its also Reinsheit...so you are all good there. They have it at Northern Brewer http://northernbrewer.com/beer-additives.html

I think Tasty/Juicy grinds up Carafa special II with a coffee grinder, and sprinkles it on top of the mash. Then he recircs on top of it. He said it adds the most color with the least amount of flavor. Makes sense to me. If you don't have recirc, you could just vourlouf more than usual.
Or you could go with some sinamar extract.
Cheers!

These shows are sort of a blur to me but I don't think I was talking about a Black IPA or if I was I wasn't the one that mentiond carafa. It may have been a Belgian Pale I wanted to turn into a Belgian Red. Not that adding Carafa to an IPA recipe isn't common. That's what they do at the 21A. Personally I think chocolate malt or carafa and chocolate malt is a better choice. It's not just a color change but a flavor change as well and I don't think you're going to get enough out of carafa without adding too much. In my mind, my Janet's Brown Ale is a black IPA. Too bad the BJCP doesn't have a Black IPA category.

I've heard Doc mentioned this a few times. Use a coffee grinder to grind a few onces of Carafa very fine and srinkle on top of the mash, towards the end.

a friend of mine found this organic black rice. He did a cereal mash with it and added it to his IPA recipe. It came out black and if you were blind, you wouldn't know that it was black.

Kind of like Terrence and his "hop" story...

Maybe you could tell it was black by the size.....

So the Black IPA was created by a guy in VT, Greg Noonan ( rip )?
