Right now I'm not set up for AG, and this is about as challenging as my equipment will allow as well. I have to use a stinking hot plate just to boil with. No way can I do a full wort boil.
2 cans Coppers Stout Beer Kit
1/2 pound Crystal malt 80L
1 lb. Coppers (or other) Light Dry malt extract
1/2 pound Black malt
1/2 pound Flaked Barley
1/2 pound Roasted Barley
1/2 ounce Northern Brewer leaf hops
1 vial White labs WLP004 Irish Ale Yeast
1 1/4 cup Light DME (priming)
Steep grains in 2 gallons of cold water until the water boils. Then remove and discard grains. Dissolve all the malt extract, stir and return wort to a boil. Add the hops and boil for 15 minutes.
Add to 3 gallons of cold water in a fermenter and drop to a temp of 65 degrees. Then pitch liquid yeast. Let ferment 4-6 days, then transfer to a secondary fermenter for an additional 10 days. Bottle and let condition at room temperature for one month.
This recipe is courtesy of Coppers in the Dec. issue of BYO.

Comments? Any ideas for a little tweaking?
Maybe more hops or dry hopping in the secondary are in order?
Edited: to fix the priming info
