Black IPAs are one of the trickiest beers to brew, the malt and hop character needs to be spot on and the water chemistry has to be just right. With this beer the key is to use just enough Carafa Special III to create the colour without negatively impacting the flavour. The hopping rates in the whirlpool and dry hopping must be high to smash through the massive malt character and yet bitterness is at the lower end to not clash with the carbonates that need to be present in the water chemistry to mellow the harshness of the darker malts.

When a girl is educated, she is more likely to delay marriage, earn a livelihood, and raise educated children. Despite positive steps, many girls still face obstacles like poverty, societal norms, and lack of access to quality schools. Government initiatives like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao are helping, but lasting change needs collective effort from families, communities, and policymakers.
