Black IPA / Cascadian Dark Ale - there was a considerable disagreement at one time in brewing circles as to which of these was the "correct" term, and if they meant the same thing. Moving on... this Black IPA in the club archive is an amazing example: http://nbcba.org/forum/tried-and-true/black-black-like-your-heart-ipa-v2/ It was originally developed by
(EDIT: OOPS, FIXED.) Richard. It's been brewed many, many times over the years.

Probably cause they are delicious 

I would guess people are getting tired of the current 'phase' (sours) and black IPA is different enough.

Brewed up a black IPA on the weekend. I'm tired of waiting for Grimross to bring theirs back!

What's with the resurgence of the Black IPA lately?  Notice it on the cover of Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine this morning and I seem to be seeing it everywhere again.  I remember Trailway putting out Black Ops a few years ago, but haven't seen any others in NB or NS in a while.

Yeast / Re: How many generations?

Last post by Kyle - July 19, 2021, 09:12:26 PM

To revive this for a new generation, lol. I used to do about 5 re-pitches with 1056 (US 05), 1214, s-04, Nottingham, and saison yeasts with no problems. With wb-06, 3 seemed to be the safe limit before unpredictability.  Last few years tho, I just buy US-05 (1056) and s-04 from Fermentis, by the 500g  brick. Sometimes I re-pitch, but not usually more than once, as I don't brew too often anymore.

General / Any good sour cherry recipes?

Just finished picking a 5 gallon bucket of sour cherries. My father will be making wine and I'd like to brew with them. Any suggestions?

14 - India Pale Ale (IPA) / Re: House IPA

Last post by Kyle - May 17, 2021, 05:49:33 PM

Yup... true. I like it in almost all styles of beer too. Just the right amount of maltyness for my tastes and it is not cloying.
