Always liked Parish Dr. Hoptagon. Are you going to try and make a black NEIPA?

Brewed my Berliner a week ago. Going to go buy some peaches or apricots this week to add. Thinking 6 or 7 pounds for a 5 gal batch.

I tried to brew a black IPA this winter. It came out bad. It tasted too much like a porter and I hopped the frick out of it. I even dry hopped it twice with 3oz each time. I had like 8oz of hops in a 5 gallon batch. I hear if you throw the specialty malts in the last ten minutes of the mash you get the color without the intense dark taste. I may try it in the fall again.

Eventually, i might. Probably in the fall when the weather cools off. Just thought a black NEIPA sounds interesting.

With lighter fruit, always go more. I'd do 2 - 3 /lbs gallon. For something like raspberries, 1.5-2 lbs/gallon is usually recommended. Regardless, its your decision. Try 6-7 lbs and if its not enough, remember for next time.

FWIW, the strawberries were 3 lbs/gallon.
