MoreBeer! is proud to release this Black IPA recipe designed by our local homebrew Club DOZE. This black IPA recipe has been coined the name as 'Diablo Dark Ale' in honor of our resident Mt. Diablo. Here is where the Diablo Order of Zymurical Enthusiasts brew at the foothills fine tuning their homebrew recipes and sharing their passion for making great beer at home.

After winning the AHA Homebrew Club Of The Year in 2010, the Diablo Order Of Zymiracle Enthusiasts (DOZE) put their minds together to collectively craft a beer they felt representative of the club and its brewers. The initiative was taken on as an all club project that spanned 5 months. In the end, over 50 members contributed ideas to this recipe and nearly 40 individual batches brewed by 23 DOZE members were tasted and refined to a single recipe. This beer is inspired by the style many refer to as Cascadian Dark Ale or Black IPA, however it is not intended to fit the mold of any particular guideline. Mostly it is big, dark, hoppy, and delicious.

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.065-70
  • SRM (Color Range): 25-30
  • IBUs: 70-75
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 6.5%

Recommended Mash Temp?
Chip Schneider on Sep 3, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The guys from MoreBeer provide you with this information:
>Mash Temperature plays a very important role in flavor of the final
beer. Holding a mash temperature between 148° F and 158° F for
60 minutes is sufficient in activating the enzymes that are naturally
within the grain. These are the enzymes that turn the starches into
sugars. Within that range, the low end (148–152° F) will produce an overall dryer beer, while the high end (154–158° F) will produce a beer with a maltier flavor. The middle range of 151–154° F is a great
compromise for most beers. When adding the grain to the water
plan for temperature drops of 9–15 degrees due the grain is sitting
at room temperature.<
So you have your choice. - How do you like your beer?
Has anyone tried racking this black IPA onto toasted coconut in secondary? I had a Coconut Cascadian Dark Ale at a local brewery that was great! Wondering if this would be a good base recipe to add coconut to? If so what would a good ratio be? Thanks Erik

BEST ANSWER: I never done that but think you idea would be yummy.

Good recipe; unfortunately got wrong hops
The recipe is good; unfortunately I was shipped an extra ounce of magnum and was missing one ounce of cascades hops and didn't notice. until mid brew. Magnum isn't a great replacement for cascades so it definitely impacted the final product. Despite that minor mistake it did come out OK and we had no problem finishing the final result

I just keg it today and I could drink this beer with out being carb.
I get a little roasty, chocolate and slightly bitter. I’m not getting much hop aroma, but I’m not gettin much hop aroma with my IPA’s either.
I will brew this one again.

This is one of two of my house beers almost always on tap. If i am out its usually in the works.
Just hit 2 years brewing with about 60 batches total all grain 5 gallon kegged brews. This was one of prob the first 5 batches I brewed. I have brewed the recipe prob 6-7 more times changing or substituting grain to hops slightly.
This recipe is really dialed in. I will make sure i have what i need to stick with this recipe to the letter.
The only thing i have brewed to equal this is morebeer's kit (Janet's Brown ale) by Mike "Tasty" McDole. These two recipes are my favorites and the ones I get the most complements on. Flex your brewing prowess get this kit.

Solid IPA
I messed this one up and left the 2nd addition hops in too long and when removing them, well, you can't get a square peg out of a round hole. So the "Black" is more of a very dark green.
It is still really good with more of the hoppier flavor and a dry finish. I will brew this again in the future and adhere to the directions but I do recommend it as I can see how good it would be if I didn't screw it up.

Excellent kit. Once my neighbors found out it was on tap it was gone in a few weeks. Already brewed twice and planning a third.

Fantastic!
This is one of my favorite beer kits and by far my favorite black IPA. It is everything you'd want from a black IPA... some roasted malt and chocolate flavor and hints of bitterness along with a solid punch of hops. I've brewed both the extract and all grain kits multiple times. Both are excellent. I do favor the all grain kit but you can't go wrong with either.

I always serve this beer on nitrogen (beer gas) using a stout faucet. You get the amazing creamy head and smooth flavor.

This beer is so good it will haunt you! :-)
I've got another batch in the fermentor now... see photo

Very tasty beer!
This came out very good but not exactly as I expected. I am a bottler and in the future I think I would add another ounce or two of dry hops to help offset aroma/flavor degradation from O2 exposure and bottle conditioning. My first batch of this has come out a bit on the roasty/chocolaty side. I'm not complaining, but I expected a bit more hop aroma. Probably is much better served from a keg. That said, I will be getting this kit again in the future to tweek the process and recipe for my set-up.

All I can say is Wow!
I can sum this beer up in one word... AWESOME!

I brewed the all-grain version. Everything went according to plan, mashed at 154 degrees and I let it sit in fermentation for 4 weeks. Two weeks in primary, two weeks in secondary. It's like a hopped up Guinness. I got huge raves from all who tried it, even my neighbor who can't stand IPAs. I will be brewing this one again very, very soon!!
