Ten years ago we would have described an East Coast IPA as a maltier, less bitter version of a WCIPA. To that is added a touch of crystal malt, typically 2 to 5% of the grainbill, and then maybe another 2 to 5% of wheat malt or foam enhancing malt. The key is in the maltsīoth styles of IPA are known for their over-the-top hop aroma but it’s the malt character of the beers that set them apart.Ī West Coast IPA is predominately 2 Row base malt, which is not as bready as Pilsner malt, but not as malty as Pale Ale malt.

They are typically dry, bitter, and thirst quenching on the West Coast and round, full and pillowy on the East. There really is a big coast to coast difference in IPAs here in the US. I must say it was interesting talking to him. Sam said they grew out of the New England IPA style in the effort to deliver a smoother, creamy mouthfeel of hop flavour. Other Half are one of this style’s pioneers and have been making Oat Cream IPAs for the past five years or so. in Brooklyn, New York and spoke to one of the co-founders Sam Richardson. but who really wants that? Hope to try the Feral beer or the Thorny Goat when I'm in Melbourne next month.The Oat Cream IPA style was new to me, so for answers I called up Other Half Brewing Co. I guess you could produce one IPA and then put food colouring in for the Red IPA and sinamar for your Black IPA. it's just a bit of gimmick for people who are interested in making a hoppy dark beer but aren't interested in really thinking.

Personally, I wouldn't use carafa special or sinamar. (enough to hit 60ibu)Ġ.5g/L Cascade (US) 5.75%aa Dry hop warm (after krausen)Ġ.5g/L Cascade (US) 5.75%aa Dry hop warm (after krausen + 4days) I'm intending to move the PKB grain bill back a bit closer to this remix recipe below but we'll stick with 6%abv. I'm not sure Citra does either (and I wouldn't use too much Sauvin). For the styrian addition we've tried pacifica and motueka but neither of these hops work that well with black malts in my opinion. It is hpped to a similar OG/IBU ratio with a little Sauvin, a bit of Styrian and a lot of NZ Cascade (7g/L all up).

The standard Pot Kettle Black uses exactly the same crystal, pale and black malts but a little more pale malt, no munich, and 6% melanoidin. I liked the term, as a bit of a laugh, but I certainly consider Pot Kettle Black (and this remix) to be a Porter. It was close to a year after I first made it, and well after we'd made the first commercial batch, that I heard of the term Black IPA and the rise of these beers in the US. It's pretty much the same beer as the first homebrew Pot Kettle Black I brewed in late 2007, and then again in early 2008 (without any idea that I'd make it commercially). Kit and Extract Spreadsheet outcome with same ingredients: Ideally the beer should have lots of body, chewy, black, around 8% alc and some refreshing hoppiness. I originally made this recipe with the Kit and Extract spreadsheet, but using BeerSmith all the values seem lower (ABV, IBUs, OG). Going with US 1056 yeast, but welcome suggestions. Aiming for around 50 IBU's with Citra added late and possibly dry hopped (just wondering if it may over power and of the malt/coffee aroma) So far I'm unsure of most of it, but going with a similar specialty malt bill to most porters found here. Somewhat similar to the Yeastie Boys 'Pot Kettle Black' and the Feral 'Karma Citra'. I'm looking at making a hoppy Porter / Black IPA.
