Decided to bottle the CDA/Dark IPA so I could use that carboy as a secondary for the browns and cider - and just clean and rack and clean and rack those over to it. It did not attenuate out as much as I would have liked but I also think my OG reading must have been low, otherwise I have an "IPA" with about 4% alcohol. I think based on the other number that I had floating around (and the fact that it does not taste like sweet malt), it's more like 6.4%.
Anyway, chose to do this one because it didn't need as much clarifying, though it is definitely lighter than I would have hoped. Will have to see how it looks in a glass, but probably need more black patent next time around.
Once I've racked this and cleaned out the carboy, time to rack over the browns and cider one-by-one to secondary fermentation and clearing for a few weeks...
Cheers!
