Description
A Tribute to Proper Job Cornish IPA | 40 Pint Beer Kit
Tribute to Proper Job is a bold, hop forward IPA inspired by one of Cornwall’s best known modern beers. This full flavoured IPA combines a clean malt backbone with generous additions of American hops, delivering vibrant aromas and flavours of grapefruit, citrus, pine and tropical fruit.
Expect a bright golden beer with a firm hop character, refreshing bitterness and a crisp, dry finish. Layers of citrus and grapefruit are balanced by subtle malt sweetness, while the combination of Cascade, Chinook and Willamette hops creates a distinctive blend of fruity, floral and gently resinous flavours.
The Dark Rock Tribute to Proper Job Homebrew Beer Kit produces 40 pints of approximately 4.6% ABV IPA. Made with brewery quality liquid malt extract, carefully selected speciality grains, vacuum packed hop pellets and premium brewing yeast, it gives home brewers an easy way to create a classic Cornish style IPA at home.
If you’re looking for a St Austell Proper Job homebrew beer kit, this recipe delivers plenty of hop flavour and aroma while remaining highly drinkable.
The Commercial Brewery
St Austell Brewery was founded in 1851 by Cornishman Walter Hicks in St Austell, Cornwall. The brewery has remained independently owned and has become one of the South West’s best known brewers, producing a range of popular beers with strong links to Cornwall’s brewing heritage.
Proper Job was first brewed in 2006 and quickly established itself as one of the brewery’s most recognisable modern beers. Originally developed in the brewery’s small batch operation, it became known for its bold hop character and its interpretation of the traditional India Pale Ale style.
The beer helped popularise the more hop-forward IPA style among British drinkers, combining the heritage of traditional British brewing with the vibrant flavours associated with American hop varieties. Proper Job is available in different formats and strengths, with the cask version developed as a more sessionable interpretation of the original stronger IPA.
Please note: This is a Dark Rock Tribute homebrew beer kit inspired by the style and flavour profile of St Austell Proper Job. It is not manufactured by, affiliated with or endorsed by St Austell Brewery.
Tribute Series
The Dark Rock Tribute Series allows home brewers to create beers inspired by some of Britain’s best known commercial favourites. From traditional bitters and rich dark ales to golden pale ales and hop-forward IPAs, every recipe is carefully developed to capture the distinctive character of the beer that inspired it.
We carefully select and match premium liquid malt extract, speciality grains, hops and yeast to create the closest possible interpretation using an accessible homebrewing process. Every commercial brewery has its own unique water profile, brewing equipment, fermentation methods and house yeast, which means Dark Rock Tribute beers are not intended to be exact clones.
Instead, each recipe is designed to create an excellent beer inspired by the original’s style and flavour profile. We recommend brewing your Tribute beer alongside the commercial version and comparing the two to see just how close you can get.
Our experienced brewers carefully research and develop each Dark Rock recipe, selecting ingredients to create beers with genuine depth of flavour, aroma and character.
Brew it. Compare it. Enjoy it.
Why Choose Dark Rock Homebrew Beer Kits?
Dark Rock Homebrew Beer Kits make it easy to brew exceptional, full flavoured beer at home. They are ideal for both new and experienced home brewers who want premium results without the additional equipment and complexity of all-grain brewing.
Unlike basic beer kits that rely on pre-hopped extract, our premium extract kits use carefully selected ingredients to give you greater control over the finished beer. Each recipe combines brewery quality liquid malt extract, speciality grains, vacuum packed hop pellets and premium brewing yeast, allowing you to create layers of authentic malt flavour, hop aroma and bitterness.
The result is an enjoyable and accessible brewing process that produces beer with far more depth and character than many standard extract kits. You get to take a more active role in brewing your beer while still using standard homebrew equipment.
Every Dark Rock kit contains 3kg of brewery-quality liquid malt extract, with speciality grains and premium hops selected specifically for the style being brewed. Whether you prefer classic British bitters, refreshing pale ales, rich dark beers or bold IPAs, the range gives you the opportunity to brew a wide variety of distinctive beers at home.

Brewers Tips
This kit includes Pure Brew, a professional brewing enhancer designed to support healthy fermentation and improve brewing water. It provides essential yeast nutrients while helping neutralise chlorine and chloramine, which can contribute unwanted flavours to finished beer. For the best possible results, add the included Pure Brew as directed in the brewing instructions.
You will also receive Harris Starbrite Beer Finings, a vegan friendly beer clarifier that helps encourage yeast and other particles to settle, producing a brighter, clearer finished beer. This is particularly useful when kegging and can help reduce sediment transfer.
Your Proper Job style extract beer kit also includes a disposable hop T-bag to make adding and removing the hop pellets simple and convenient. For home brewers who want to upgrade their setup, a reusable stainless steel dry hopper can provide greater hop circulation and can be cleaned and reused for future brews.
Tip: This is a hop-forward IPA, so freshness matters. Avoid leaving the finished beer to condition for unnecessarily long periods. Once fully conditioned, enjoy it fresh to get the most from its vibrant citrus, grapefruit and hop aroma, with the beer served cool rather than excessively cold.

Fantastic kit.
I used 2 mangrove Jack’s carbonation drops per 500 ml bottle, if anything it was a bit lively, could have got away with 1 – 1.5 drops.
Taste wise the kit was spot on, so much so I have requests from friends to do a re-brew. ( It didn’t last long).
Such a great kit. Nice large amount of hops as you’d expect with proper job. Very easy to brew. Really tastes fantastic and so easy to drink! Not sure 40 pints will last me watching Le Mans 24hrs!!
Fantastic grapefruit that came across. Kit again very easy to follow!
First go at brewing from grains fantastic product . Tastes just like the real beer . Will definitely brew again. Only negative 6 mates round in garden on sunny afternoon rules of six post lockdown finished it off in day ????????
First part grain kit I’ve ever done. Very easy to follow and super simple instructions.
I made it in 2 halves by simply splitting the ingredients, although I probably lost more than I would have if id have made it in one batch. Malt extract is in 2 sachets so makes it easy to split. I bottle conditioned for min 2 weeks.
The finished article came out at 5% but had better head retention than the real thing. Colour was slightly darker too although I did brew on my stove and probably didn’t get the temps exactly right. Its bottle conditioned now for almost 4 weeks. It tasted ok at first but has definitely improved over time. I plan to brew the second half of the kit this weekend. Easy enough. Id recommend this to anyone who enjoys PJ and wants to branch out into AG brewing.
