βœ… 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 1-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Black IPA at home:

  • Pilsen dry malt extract
  • Warrior hops (bittering)
  • Simcoe, Centennial, and Chinook hops (flavor)
  • Simcoe and Citra hops (aroma)
  • Simcoe and Citra hops (dry hop)
  • Specialty steeping grains
  • Standard ale yeast
  • Grain steeping bag
  • Sanitizer packet

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 1-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Black IPA highlights hop selection and timing:

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

Careful hop additions allow bold aroma and bitterness to shine without overpowering the malt base.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Homebrewers who already own brewing equipment
  • IPA fans looking to explore darker styles
  • Brewers interested in dry hopping techniques
  • Fans of bold, hop-forward beers

Because of its layered hop profile, it’s a great choice for brewers who enjoy expressive, aromatic IPAs.
