Well now I’ve got me a Speidel Brewmaster, it’d be wasteful not to get a brew on, wouldn’t it?

This is the partner brew to the Chinarillo IPA (https://yeastismybitch.com/2013/06/20/home-brewed-chinarillo-ipa/) and as this one has got a bit of additional black malt in it -primarily to mark it apart from the Chinarillo IPA- and because it’s 28EBC or so in colour it can’t possibly just be an Indian Pale Ale, so it must be an Indian Dark Ale…

I tried to use Graham Wheeler’s Beer Engine software to work out the malt bill, but gave up for the time being – choosing to adopt the “suck it and see” approach.  Maybe at some point I’ll get the impetus and time to work out my effiiciences.

In order to see the comedic goings on that occurred during this brew day, read here:
