Liked this beer so much we drained the keg and put the recipe back in the brew queue. So here we are. Minor changes: bumped up the 30m Magnum to a full ounce, gave the Carafa II 15m instead of 5 in the mash to work its color magic, and tossed in some malted oats for a little more character. I don't think we can call this an IPA anymore... I suspect it will just have too much malt character, with the color landing squarely on 'amber'.

that one sounds tasty. I might have to try that recipe out! Would that be a black IPA with the caraf added at the end for color?
more of an amber/red. the amount of carafa i used was so small that black just isn't going to happen.
