3 CDA recipies

by mrgstiffler

I've brewed all three of these recipes. The first turned out extremely well and I wanted to do an Imperial version of it with some changes. So the second is based off it with some changes to the hops and grain bill. The second is currently conditioning in bottles, but tastes GREAT so far. The third recipe was made with some tips from the brewers at Deschutes based off their Hop in the Dark release. That one is still fermenting. These are all screengrabs from BeerAlchemy.

I just tried the second recipe after about 2 weeks in the bottle. It's hands down the best beer I've ever made. VERY good. The third recipe is ready to be racked to secondary now.

Please let us know how that 3rd recipe turns out. I've made 2 batches of extract CDA, the second one is pretty bomb, uses Warrior hops for bittering, tops out at 60 IBUs, 7% ABV. The recipe is here: http://montbardbrewing.com/2011/02/18/black-ipa/

Will be doing my first BIAB this coming weekend, starting off simple with a Bavarian Hefeweizen. But might try that recipe if it's nice.

I'm a fairly inexperienced (1 year homebrewing) brewer planning to brew CDA v1.0 for my first or second BIAB batch. A couple of questions...

1. Are you doing a "standard" 154F 60-min mash followed by a 170F mash-out?

2. I wasn't able to get "German Carafa II", so I bought "Weyermann Dehusked Carafa II". Any issue there? From what I can tell the difference is that the "dehusked" grain will not contribute bitterness from roasted husks.

3. Hops that I bought have a significantly higher AA content than in the original recipe. I enjoy hoppy ales, so this is not a problem per se, but I just wanted to point that out in case someone had an opinion.

4. Screenshot from Hopville is attached:
