Product Details

This is craft beer at home, minus the guesswork. This Black IPA recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Black IPA, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Black IPA answers to a few names, Cascadian Dark Ale among them, and it started as an argument the Pacific Northwest never fully settled. The idea is an IPA's hop punch dressed in the color of a porter, built on debittered dark malts that give deep brown and near-black hues without the heavy roast of a stout. Citrus and pine hops meet a faint note of cocoa and coffee.

This one carries Citra, Amarillo, and Cascade over a grist chosen for color rather than roast, so the darkness reads as depth instead of bitterness.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Carafa III in place of the recipe's Carafa Special III (Weyermann); Rye Malt in place of the recipe's Cararye®; Munich Malt in place of the recipe's Munich I (Weyermann). We stock dry yeast only, so LalBrew BRY-97 (West Coast Ale) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Northwest Ale (Wyeast Labs 1332).

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Black IPA. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
