$47.50
This Black IPA 5 Gallon beer recipe kit helps you brew a bold, hop-forward dark IPA with piney, citrus, and resinous hop character layered over smooth dark malt, ready to drink in about four weeks.
  • Makes 5 gallons (approximately 48–54 bottles) of Black IPA

  • Hop-forward dark IPA
  • Features five hop varieties with a dry hop addition

✅ Beginner-friendly with step-by-step brewing support

The Black IPA combines the bold hop character of an IPA with a dark, inky appearance. Pacific Northwest hop varieties deliver pine, citrus, and resin notes, while debittered dark malts provide color without adding harsh roast or astringency.

The result is a balanced Black IPA that looks dark and intense but drinks clean and hop-forward, with bitterness and aroma taking center stage.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Black IPA at home:

  • 6.25 lb Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
  • Warrior (Bittering) Hop Packet
  • Simcoe, Centennial & Chinook (Flavor) Hop Packet
  • Simcoe & Citra (Aroma) Hop Packet
  • Simcoe & Citra (Dry Hop) Hop Packet
  • Steeping Grains
  • Grain Steeping Bag
  • Your choice of yeast (dry yeast, liquid yeast, or no yeast if you have your own)

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 5-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Black IPA balances aggressive hopping with smooth dark malt character:

  • Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops throughout the boil
  • Ferment: Ferment with ale yeast until clean and stable
  • Dry Hop: Add hops during fermentation to boost aroma and flavor
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

This process delivers bold hop aroma while keeping the dark malt base smooth and balanced.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
  • Fans of hop-forward IPAs with dark malt character
  • Homebrewers interested in layered hop schedules
  • Drinkers who enjoy bold, resinous, and citrus-driven beers

Because it combines aggressive hopping with smooth roasted malt, this kit is perfect for brewers who want a visually striking beer with classic IPA intensity.

  • Batch Size: 5 gallons
  • ABV: ~5.75%
