BIPA (Black India Pumpernickel Ale)
Wanted to make a Black IPA, then decided to add a twist with rye malt. Turned out excellent and my Cascadia-resident brother gulped it down fast, so it must be good!

| Yeast: | S-04 | |||||||
| Log: | Primary for 19 days at 68F. Went direct to keg. | |||||||
| Carbonation: | Medium carbonation. | |||||||
| Tasting: | Final gravity was a bit higher than planned (shooting for 1.014 w/ the lower mash temp), which probably helped balance the beer more and a good thing. Very nice medium chocolate note from the carafa without overpowering. Hop bitterness is firm with hints of grapefruit. Quite spicy from the rye malt and a light tingle of alcohol. Body is not thick even with a somewhat high FG, actually only medium at best. Success! | |||||||
