Your a brave man something I need to do this year onya hope it turns out greatnext brew
spontaneous fermentation
Go both if you can or flip a coin heads for the hoppy pale tails for a the amber.I'm trying to decide, either a repeat of a very good amber or a new very hoppy pale ale
Black IPA, last batch was a dumper
This was my first batch with my new speidel fermenters, I think that I did not clean them properly.
Sad, so sad.
Just built a dry stout/black IPA cross recipe yesterday. To much roast and heavy Carmel to be IPA but heavy hand with hops. May add some dry hops too.

After Bob provides his pale ale recipe (grain bill %s), an ESB is at the plate.
Much cleaner grain bill, like my IPAs. I need to dial my pale back from pancake syrup and ditch the Cara. Good luck.95% 2-row Pale, 5% C-60, 2 oz. Warrior@5 and enough Warrior@60 to reach an IBU/SG ratio or 1.0. Mashing at 152 and fermenting at 66 with Mangrove Jack's M42 slurry.
With a lower alpha hop I'd go with 2 oz. at both 10 and 1 but, as you say, there ain't no room for that with Warrior
