- Tasting Notes
- Too bitter to taste the brown sugar clearly.
This is a super-easy stout recipe for people who are transitioning from all-liquid kits such as Mr. Beer or Munton's.
The color: too light. Boiling the extract extra time darkens it a bit, though.
The flavor: too bitter. Less hops, or less boil time, might be helpful. Aroma hops might be distracting, so I used Hallertauer for not less than 15 min. boil.
Alcohol content: nice!
Price: Briess dark extract is ~$11. Muntons dry yeast large satchet is ~$2-3. Brown sugar is ~$1.50. 1 oz. Hallertauer hops is ~$1-2.
This is a very easy, inexpensive transition away from all-liquid kits. It is not a superior beer, and is easily improved. I'm not a fan of stouts -- I brewed this specifically for a friend.
Maple syrup is a possible substitution for brown sugar.
