This will only be my third all grain recipe. My girlfriend wanted me to brew a Black IPA, Ive not done black IPA but have been reading Mitch Steele's book as well as get ideas about Black IPAs I like like Self Righteous and Black IPA. I have some Amarillo Hop pellets I though I could use but wanted to get your thoughts on this recipe.
Could you guys give me your thoughts? Want to get the malt and character that dont interfere too much with amarillo, and perhaps citra. Do you have recommendations?
