NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Black IPA

If I were to try to make a Black IPA, I believe that I would try to
minimize the roasted / stout sort of flavors.  Perhaps using Caraffa malt
(dehusked) would fit the bill?  It is used for some German Dark Lagers. I
would keep the grain bill quite simple, just 2 row as a base and 1/2 to 1
lb of Caraffa.  Making me thirsty! Lots of hops, of course.

Subject: Orlando

Hi All,

I will be in Orlando the last week in Feb. I have been beer hunting 
there 2 years ago but are there any new "must go" places that have 
opened in the last couple of years?

Also, I want to bring back one 12 pack of beer to share with UNYHA my 
local homebrew club. The club is large enough that I need at least 12 
bottles of the same beer so that everyone at the meeting can get a 
taste, so I can only reasonable bring back one brand in my checked 
luggage. Does anyone have a recommendation for one great LOCAL brand to 
bring back?

Thanks
Dana Edgell

I had a dark Belgian IPA called Bashah.  It was a collaboration between Brew
Dog and Stone (It cost $6 for 1 12 oz.).  It was quite interesting.  I've
had a few Belgian IPAs, but this was the first dark one.  It was more of a
chocolate malt flavor though.  I think you might get some coffee like
flavors from the roasted barley, which in my opinion doesn't fit in an IPA.
Try a little chocolate malt, but it doesn't have to be black.  Also try some
really dark crystal, 120 maybe.  I've been making an India Porter for a
while which comes out nice with chocolate and black malt, but if you want a
Dark IPA, you need to stay in the style a little bit.
