‘twas back in the time of the Raj, my child, and an old British colonel was sipping on a glass of his favourite stout, when an almighty gust blew in, whipping up the grains from the nearby spice market and filling the air – and the colonel’s beer – with the flavours of the east. “By jove!” exclaimed the soldier, “That is marvellous!” and so the Chai Latte Stout was born. Or at least a good tale was born to explain how a rich dark stout with a smooth beige head, came to be blessed with the exotic aromas of cloves, coffee and chocolate, and followed on with a sweet taste from the lactose before rounding out with the flavours of your favourite spicy chai, coffee and chocolate.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment at 18 - 20C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 10 days.
The following day check the Specific Gravity (SG)
Check the SG again the following day and so on

3. Bottle

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over a couple of days, expect about 1015 to 1017.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (only one drop per bottle may be preferred
for this style).
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve in with bottle age.
When ready to drink, chill the bottles upright.
The chilled beer may be poured into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 6.5% ABV.
