I like what you're doing. Editing advice (if you're interested)... Use that couple of minutes of you just talking as voiceover for action shots. Brewing. Fermentation bubbles. Kegging. Pouring. Tasting. Drinking. Sharing at a party. Voiceovers work GREAT with content like this.
I didn't read through all the comments and maybe you figured out by now what sounds like astringency issues, but I've heard to minimize that you add your dark grains later in the mash say last 15 minutes. We are brewing this style this weekend and I plan on adding dark grains later. Great content btw. I followed after seeing you with claw hammer on their vid.
Their video is live on their channel give it a watch! Yeah I've read up on adding dark grain in the last 15m, this still would benefit from that and I'll definitely give it a go next brew!
In my limited experience (I've never done a real BIPA) it's an advantage to add the really dark malts very late in the mash, or even just before sparging.
I cracked one of my black IPAs a few days after bottling to give it a try. It was a solid beer, but like yours, I found the roasty, malty flavours were a lot less hidden than I'd hoped. In about a week, I'll be able to have it fully drinking ready, and I'm crossing my fingers.
I haven't brewed a black ipa in a while but now I want to. I like citrusy and resinous hops in the style personally and the recipe I have brewed several times was bittered with chinook with Amarillo and simcoe in the whirlpool and dry hop. I would skip the pale chocolate and cold steep a pound of midnight wheat overnight in cold water. That will give you color and a little roast. I'm definitely going to brew a black ipa now.
Looks good. Appreciate you sharing what you like and don’t like. Recently did my first black IPA as well. Just kegged so can’t give feedback on taste but had only 3.3% midnight wheat and 2.6% carafa special 3 for the dark malts. 2% C80 and 2% carahell. 10% rye malt was a bit unique and the rest maris. I did a lot more hops on mine. Fist wort to 60IBU like your 60 min but 200g at whirlpool and 4 oz of dry hop for 2 days
I bet it'll turn out great! I have no issues saying what I don't like about something or shedding light on mistakes I make, I think it makes us all better in the long run!
Hey, nice video. You need to be dropping the temperature to dry hop to reduce the hop burn, try putting together a cheap fermentation fridge rather than a jacket to ferment. Dry hop only when the beer is finished and at 14c, works a treat for me
Hey Jus'. Another great video, cheers. Pingpong table in the kitchen, Nice... I think I'm gonna try that style on my next brew. I haven't brewed since I brewed with fresh hops in October. Keep posting:) I love it!
Black IPA is one of my favorite styles, a few things. Hop burn settles out! For me last time I got some bad hop burn I just let it sit in the keg for another week and it was much better the following week. Also I wanted to ask, how did your hop spider handle all those hops? I know whenever I do IPA's in the hop spider it gets clogged up QUICK, always have to watch that to get proper contact with the hops and the wort. May buy another hop spider for IPA brew days. Also for the roasty notes, 7% midnight wheat seems like alot. I think last time I used this it was like half that amount, especially if you are adding chocolate malt as well. Cheers!
Yeah it was a bit much on the darker malts for sure, next time I'm dialing that back. The spider did ok I think, only 4oz went into so it wasn't too too bad but yes, having a larger one also helps 🤙🏾
I didn't word that the best way I could've. What I meant was I wish the amount of the flavors were reversed in that there was more hop character than bitterness/roastiness opposed to the mild roast flavors and soft hop character. I'm sure there's a way to find out how to swap when the flavor is introduced, sounds like something you learn in a Brewer's course in college!

Thanks for the advice! I've been doing more and more voice over stuff lately, haven't considered going all the way yet

An opportunity to brew it again! I can't wait to try again and tweak it to my preference
I made this last month, very good
Love black ipas
My first time brewing one but definitely not the last
@@JusBrewing I tried one and it came out more like a red ale, not bad just totally missed the mark lol ill be trying again of course
Nice man, i love BIPA! Jus' my beer 🍻
🍻 CHEERS!
I love black IPAs. Citra tastes awesome in it! Cotra and Columbus are my go-to hops when I brew
That's a really good combo for IPAs!
Sometimes the roasted grains and bitterness too, but it’ll probably mellow out a bit after some conditioning time. Cheers!!!
Yeah I'm letting it sit for a little longer before I really dig into the keg 🍻
That's a whole lotta hops!

I definitely need to drop temp for sure, thanks!
Just racked my black IPA this week! Keep up the great work 🤙🏽
Thanks Kenneth! I'm already planning my next, better rendition! 🍻 Cheers!
"Martin Keen Lean" hahah excellent name for that, have fun in Asheville man!
Glad you liked that 😂 thanks Trent! 🍻
Just got a Clawhammer system myself and use the Keen Lean!
@@justinbarker2164 The only way to go 🤷🏾♂
Just found you. Love the videos broski

Thanks Ras! It's a combo ping pong/pool/dinner table 😎
I have never seen a Black IPA in my area (on draft), I will have to keep my eye out for it and give it a try!
Do it! If you can't find one, find someone to brew it for you 😂
@@JusBrewing or maybe it will be my first brew once i get the clawhammer system lol

Do you drink all of your beers fast enough that you don't have full kegs stored?
I either drink it, take it with me when I go certain places, or give it to friends, family, and neighbors 🍻🍻
How would you reverse the flavors so that you got the hops in intake and roast on the back end?
I didn't word that the best way I could've. What I meant was I wish the amount of the flavors were reversed in that there was more hop character than bitterness/roastiness opposed to the mild roast flavors and soft hop character. I'm sure there's a way to find out how to swap when the flavor is introduced, sounds like something you learn in a Brewer's course in college!
@@JusBrewing mis-worded, maybe, but it still gives me something to research, how to change when flavors are introduced to the palate.
So does it taste more like a porter?
Not so much like a Porter, not as much chocolate in this one. Closer to a stout or a Tropical Stout if you've had one
@Jus' Brewing hmmmm. Ive only had one black ipa from Trillium and it wasn't my favorite. Which one did you try?
"Martin Keen Lean" hahah excellent name for that, have fun in Asheville man!
Glad you liked that one! Thanks Trent 🍻🍻
