Notes: Get ready to dive into the darkness with the Nighthawk Imperial Black IPA. This beer means business, an incredibly hop forward flavor and aroma attacks your senses from first sip. Using an impressive 9 oz. of hops we blend our favorite American varietals to create and complex and long-lasting hop experience of tropical fruits, orange, and a lemon finish. Pours Midnight Black with an off-white head this brew forgoes the heavy roast and astringency you would expect, instead supporting the hops with a slight roasty chocolate malt backbone to add an entirely new dimension to your new favorite IPA.

Notes:
- Due to the high Original Gravity of this brew we recommend making a yeast starter or purchasing an additional vial of yeast.

- This brew uses a two-stage dry hopping process. After 7 days of primary fermentation you will open your fermentation vessel and add 1 oz. Centennial and 1 oz. Amarillo. After an additional week you will transfer to a secondary and dry hop with 1 oz. Falconers Flight and 1 oz. Amarillo for five (5) days and then keg/bottle your brew.

Notes: Total mash time 100 minutes. Ferment & diacetyl rest @64-74° F for two plus weeks.

I've used both White Labs WLP400 and Wyeast Belgian Witbier 3944 for my money the WLP400 has a better flavor profile more inline with a traditional Hoegaarden

One to try might be Wyeast Forbidden Fruit 3463

Could also sub East Kent Goldings for the Hallertau hops

Notes: Formerly known as "Life of Pi-rate (LiPi)"

Batch #5 - 9/11/19 - (Eff. 59%, Att. 73%, ABV 7%, Bat. Vol. 22L)
- Switched to US05 yeast x3 packs dry pitched at 28C into aerated wort, had to rush out and didn't have time to re-hydrate and cool to normal temp.
- Simcoe 10min switched to cryo from pellet to be 8 IBU's.
- Simcoe 0min switched to cryo 10g from 15g pellet.
- Simcoe dry hopped switched to 30g cryo from 50g pellet, 25 AAU's.
- Columbus dry hopped switched to 30g cryo from 50g pellet, 23 AAU's.
16/11/19 - SG:1019 , dry hopped.
21/11/19 - FG:1019, cold crashed, tastes good.
23/11/19 - Kegged and carbed at 30 psi for 2:45 min.
30/11/19 - Tastes dank and resinous, like an old school DIPA, great stuff
22/12/19 - Finished the keg and it was a good batch, plenty of old school IPA hop flavours and no real hint of the ABV, Tim loved this one.

4/1/19 - Batch #4 - (57% Eff.)
- Switched Maris Otter to Gladfields American Ale Malt
- Switched to M44 West Coast Ale yeast (x3)
- Changed water profile to new (IPA/DIPA profile) upping sulphate to near 300ppm
- Batch volume at 20.5L, next time mash 32L (not 31.5)
- Temp. raised slowly to 20.C over the first few days.
19/1/19 - Returned from 2 weeks away to dry hop in a steel rocket, upped the Simcoe & Mosaic to 50g from 45g for convenience.
21/1/19 - FG: 1022 (higher than 1016 predicted.) Cold crashed to 1.C, tastes quite fruity but still a touch harsh. I'd like to dry hop longer next time. ABV. 7%
22/1/19 - Kegged with new better fit transfer line to minimise O2 exposure, carbed at 30psi for 2min30sec and left to sit at 30.
27/1/19 - Tasted on Hottest 100 Day, very hoppy, slight alcohol hint on the back end.

22/4/18 - Batch #3 (53% Eff.)
- Water profile "Light coloured & hoppy" (Gypsum 4g, Epsom salt 1g, Calcium chloride 3g)
- Switched from US-05 to White Labs San Diego Super Yeast WLP090 with a 1.1L starter 115g of DME for 24hrs, decanted down to 800ml then poured at 23C after aeration with drill.
29/4/18 - SG:1014 and dry hop added
16/6/18 - Tasted and smelled great.

19/11/17 - Batch #2 (My System)
- Low Colour Floor Malted Maris used, rolled oats added
- Substituted Riwaka for Simcoe
- Added 1L of water post mash to adjust for lost volume in extra grain
- Pitched x2 packs of rehydrated yeast in 100mL water/100mL wort mix for 1 hour
- Really low efficiency (51.5%)
28/11/17 - SG: 1014, dry hopped
- Keg was carted all round the east coast for 2 weeks and still tasted great, love this beer, no hint of how strong it it is, this thing is an assassin.

30/7/17 - Batch #1 (At Will's house)
- Bottled using drops into clear 1.25L bottles. Tasted great out of the fermentor. 59% efficiency.
12/7/17
- Tastes similar to intended with heaps of tropical fruit in the aroma but not a huge resin hop hit.

Notes: 12-11-2016:
First brew on new temp controlled electric setup and new grain mill. Going for a lighter colored and bodied Tropicalia with a good head and mouthfeel. Using dry yeast for the first time. Using K-97 German Ale for this batch, and will make an identical second batch trying out US-05.

12-26-2016: Brew Day
From biabcalculator.com:
Total Water Needed 8.04 Gallons
Strike Water Temp 165 Fahrenheit
Total Mash Volume 9.00 Gallons
PreBoil Wort 7.50 Gallons
PostBoil Wort 5.75 Gallons
Into Fermenter 5.50 Gallons

Strike at 74C for 70C mash, 60 minutes, fly sparge. Didn't squeeze the bag and got terrible 43% efficiency. Will grind finer for next batch. OG = 1.034

12-27-2016
Rehydrated yeast and pitched into 68F wort, started bubbling by the next morning.

1-11-2017
