worry wort Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 as a learning curve, can/should you dry hop a dark ale? If so, what would be your preferred hops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Personally I don't bother, to me it's a style more about the malt, with hops simply providing some bitterness to balance it. However there are hoppy dark ales as well, so it really depends on what you want from the beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worry wort Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 yeah, I must admit I have loved the dark ale for about 20 years now, but I'm just keen to try experimenting and at the moment I have a dark ale down (spicy brunette actually, first attempt at other than k n k), so just me being anxious to get mixing.

Shamus O'Sean Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Shiner is described as a Black IPA. It uses Galaxy hops. I made it a while ago and liked its hoppy taste and aroma. It is not what I would call a true Dark Ale, but rather an IPA with additives to make it a dark colour. Cheers Shamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
