Notes: Steep to convert the grains at 150 degrees for 45 minutes in 5 qts of water.
- for every 2 lbs of grain, use 1 gallon of water. 12oz + 12oz + 6oz + 6oz (2.25 lbs) = 5 qts.
Sparge with 1/2 gallon water (150 degrees)
Add enough water to bring wort volume to 2.5 gallons
Add late addition fermentables (Wheat DME and Candi Syrup) at 45 minutes into 60 minute boil time (ie, 15 minutes) |

Notes: No Chocolate in this stout. Simplest idea is just dark extract and roasted barley.
Maybe also some extra C60 or C120 and/or lactose.
Dark Extract has 54% Munich 10L, 30% Base Malt 2-Row, 13% Caramel Malt 60, 3% Black Malt |

Notes: Toast flaked adjuncts in oven on 350 degrees until lightly roasted and the whole house smells of fresh baked bread. This will add another level of complexity to your beer and make for a superior Black IPA.
Steep grains at 150 to 160 degrees for 45 mins with just enough water to cover your grains then rinse grains with 1.5 gal of 170 degree water. |

Notes: Aerate the wort very well. Pitch at 21C.
Ferment for about 1 week.
Serve about 2 weeks after bottling/kegging.
Many Germans roll the bottle on the table before opening it to get the yeast sediment well mixed with the beer. This is an option you might want to try for authenticity.

Notes: Added Irish Moss at 15m.
Thermometer broke during wort chilling. Yeast wasn't hydrated and pitched 2.5 hours after boil. Didnt know exact temperature - probably 19-22 C.
Active fermentation 12-24 hours after pitching!
Dry hop 2.5 oz. of Cascade whole leaf hops for 8 days.
3/4 cup of corn sugar with 2 cups boiling water. Bottled on March 10, 2014. I guess the whole hope leafs absorbed a lot of the beer because I only had enough for 30 bottles, not the 40-46 I had planned for. Might not dry hop again if the aroma isn't worth it. Will find out during tasting. :)
First taste on March 23: tastes amazing, blew my expectations away! Surprisingly similar to Muskoka Mad Tom. They have the same specs though. The dry hopping of cascade really came through on the nose. Very fruity and citrusy nose. A very sweet and malty taste. Good carbonation. Maybe I am biased...
Side-by-side comparison with Mad Tom: Colour: MT is a lot lighter and clearer. Mine is relatively hazy. Head retention and size is pretty similar for both. Smell: MT has a more pungent hoppy nose. Mine is slightly more fruity. Taste: MT definitely has more punch to it - sharp hop taste. Mine is sweeter and laid-back. MT had distinct citrus notes. Grapefruit. Mine tastes more of darker fruits. Mouthfeel: MT is crisp with greater carbonation. Mine is smooth with delicate/light carbonation. Overall, it's hard to pick a winner in my biased opinion. I think MT nudges mine slightly. Think of slight changes to the recipe next time. Maybe not so dark colour with greater fruit emphasis on the nose and in the mouth.
