Hello Brewers, A belated but Happy New Year to you all.
Well, with a view to my next but one brew I've designed my first Black IPA / twisted Stout. It's kind of for St.Patrick's Day, but in reality won't be at it's best in time. The bulk will be kept back for Summer time drinking. It should be tropical and citrusy with the hoppy, dryness of an IPA and the slick mouthfeel and full body of a stout/porter. Quite a weird combination I know, but that's the target.
Anyhow, I've decided to use Mosaic and Amarillo, which I can now get a hold of! I really like Mosaic, but have never tried Amarillo. I've used a lot of base malts and even some Rye Malt. This mainly an experimental thing, to see what it gives to the beer. I think this should be quite a dry beer, so I'm thinking that Rye (and Oats) should play nicely...but I could be horribly wrong.
What do you think?
