Last spring Dave @ Muckney Brewing sent me a beer he called Dark IPA. It was excellent, a dark, roasty, hoppy, ale. This time of year I crave dark beers and IPAs, so I figured, why not mix them both. Dave gave me the basics of his recipe, and I decided to go for a bit more of the porter angle than the IPA. I'm excited to see how this turns out. In addition to a basic porter recipe, I'm using Organic Pacific Gem hops as the bittering hops, as well as 2 ounces of Cascade hops, and dry hopping with some high alpha Organic Admiral Whole Leaf Hops. I'll keep the status updated...A couple other quick notes... I'm excited to have exchanged some brews with Ted at Tedbrews.com.
I have followed Ted's blog for some time, always impressed with what he's got brewing. Needless to say I'm excited to try some of his beers.
More to come...
Salud!
Bearded Brewer
