Notes

No matter if your an all-grain or extract brewer, below is my favorite recipe for brewing a Black IPA. Try it. You won’t regret it. (Feel free to sub in your own favorite hops)

Procedure:
Mash at 152° F for an hour. Mash out at 170° F and sparge with 180° F water to make 6 gallons. Heat to boiling and then add 10 HBUs of Sorachi Ace hops.

Boil 45 minutes, then add 0.5 oz Sorachi Ace hops. Boil 15 more minutes and turn off heat and add 0.5 oz of Sorachi Ace hops.

Cool as quickly as possible to 70° F, rack to your fermenter, and pitch yeast.

After 7-10 days, rack to secondary fermenter and dry hop with 0.5 oz of Sorachi Ace hops. After 14 days, prime and bottle or keg.
