The beer didn't come out too roasty at all, so I think you're ok with mashing it as well, although adding it later (or doing a cold steep separately) is fine as well.<br /><br />The Gypsum and CaCl amounts were 3 grams each (noted in the "Water" section).<br /><br />Good luck!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469375277267237839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-781434801002813892013-10-02T15:43:37.231-03:002013-10-02T15:43:37.231-03:00Hello!

I have read some people prefer to add the roast grains for a black IPA during the sparge instead...also, can you give specifics of your water treatment (amounts of Gypsum and CaCl)?<br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210694762069936998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-87025028626340882762013-05-06T10:04:23.952-03:002013-05-06T10:04:23.952-03:00Sounds like a sweet trip!

I just took a beer trip to Vermont last week and got to the Farmstead, did some tastings, bought a cool growler, and got to meet some of the staff. Along with some Heady I got on the trip, it was one of the major highlights. Looking forward to trying to make some Hill Farmstead beers of my own.

I can see him wanting to be secretive, to a degree, but he could give out his exact recipes and water profile and people still wouldn't likely be able to brew beer like he does!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469375277267237839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-75150868882581837652013-04-29T21:01:09.746-03:002013-04-29T21:01:09.746-03:00Good write-up, this should be a nice beer.

He did an AMA on Reddit recently where he pretty much avoided every single question about brewing specifics, to the point where it seemed... sort of awkward that he was doing it at all.<br /><br />Interesting that there are obvious differences between the recipe Steele gave and what's listed by HF. I never noticed that. Makes me wonder too where he got all the recipes.<br /><br />Also an interesting tidbit about the chloride in his water profile; I don't remember reading that before. I figure he has to do something a little different from everyone else.Bear Flavoredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217501752031139256noreply@blogger.com
