So the Black IPA that I made using the staggered harvest of Cascade and Nugget hops turned out pretty good. The beer has a big hop aroma from the dry hopping, and the taste is nice balance of slightly roasted grains and pungent hop flavors - citrus, pine, grassy, earthy. Nice body too.
Recipe was:
6.6 lb Pale Liquid Malt Extract
2.0 lb Light Dry Malt Extract @30min
.75 lb Carafa III Special Malt (steeped)
.75 lb Crystal 60 Malt (steeped)
1.75 oz Chinook @60min
1.5 oz Centennial @60min
1.0 oz Nugget @30min
2 to 3 oz (equivalent) of homegrown wet Nugget and Cascade @ 5min
Wyeast 1056 American Ale yeast
Dry Hop of 3 oz of homegrown dried Nugget and Cascade in secondary for 1 week
O.G. 1.070
F.G. 1.020
abv ~6.5%
