Notes: Excellent flavor and strong hops bouquet. Hops blend (Simcoe, Columbus, Citra) gives notes of pine and citrus fruit with some of the unique floral and berry characters of Citra. Cascade goes in early in the boil due to low alpha content. Most of the bitter come from the Hop add with 15 minutes to go. Dry hopped Cascade to give it an all American balance. Medium bitterness with strong hop aroma and flavor. Higher than normal alcohol content for APA, at top of the band, but it fits. Almost an IPA, but would need to start with a higher gravity. You can lower the alcohol by dropping the wheat extract, but adjust the hops too or it'll be too bitter.
Yeast starter - use 3.6 oz (103g) dry malt extract (DME) [I use pilsner 2L DME] per liter of water. My starter is a 1 liter starter, assumed 6B cells per gram of dry yeast (US-05), giving 165B cells for a 144B requirement. If you aim for a pitch rate between .5 and .75million/ml/P, then it's good. You could just buy a couple more yeast packages to make it easier (which I will do next time!!) (each packet is about 66B cells). Then there's no need for a starter. Just hydrate them with tepid water before adding to wort. Aim for around 200B cells for a 5.5 gallon batch.
Grains added to cold water, which was heated to 165F and steeped for 30 minutes.
There are only three hop adds to the boil: 60 min, 15 min (with the Irish moss), and a quick 5 min in the boil. Use hop bags because it makes draining your wort significantly easier!, but don't put the moss in the bag!
Boil off losses should be topped off with distilled water during the boil.
Maintain in primary (at 70F, keep below 74F to avoid off flavors) until no noticeable bubble formation in fermentation lock over one-minute period (about 7-10 days). Then transfer to secondary and add dry hops in a sanitized hop bag secured with fishing line and weighted down with sanitized marbles to suspend in middle of carboy. 14 more days in secondary. Remove dry hops and bottle as below. [Post brewing note: 4 oz of dry hops are a lot! Even with 20 marbles, I was not able to submerge the hop bag completely. This is easier with a bucket type fermenter. Stuffing the hop bag through the tiny carboy opening is a chore and takes some time and patience, but it can be done!]
Priming with 5oz corn sugar, gives strong carbonation with good head retention. |

Notes: They seem to change Blackhouse recipe a few times, but I based this off a combination of the current grist shown on the Modern Times website and this recipe supposedly posted by MT themselves http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/230943/black-house
Using Amber malt because Biscuit is not available and Victory is 3x as expensive.
Using a smaller percentage of regular Chocolate malt because I didn't have Pale Chocolate (would have done about 8% of the latter).
My Warrior hops said only 15.2%AA (default was 16.7) so I used a bit more
Wanted to use lower attenuation yeast to keep the FG higher (Blackhouse is 1018), happened to have WLP051 on hand. Would have used WLP001 otherwise.
BOTTLING UPDATE:
Tastes a it strongly of bitter coffee before adding coffee beans, so maybe use a smaller percentage of coffee malt next time. Bottled 3L without coffee, and racked another 8.5L or so onto 50g of whole beans (30g Sarutahiko's dark blend and 20g About Life's Ethiopia Heirloom). |

| Notes: My first recipe, tried to emulate a few that I've seen online and add a little twist. Going for a beer that has a session beer appeal, with a little bite. The .2 oz 30 minute Centennial and 15 minute Columbus additions will add the bitter, while the 5 minute Citra addition, and the second Citra addition at flame out providing a citrus like forefront. |
