Imagine a slab of rich, mouth-watering hazelnut chocolate. Now think a big, full-flavoured warming stout. Put them together and voila! You have our Chocolate Hazelnut Stout (yep, no quirky name needed on this one). As you’d expect from a Nutella-inspired brew it pours dark brown under a velvety tan head. Then you get the tempting blend of cocoa and hazelnut aromas, followed by lip-smacking chocolate, roasted nuts and coffee. And it’s all rounded out with a low bitterness and a mouthfeel that’s full and smooth like melted chocolate... but as a beer. Yep, winter just got that little bit warmer.

Sprinkle the Coopers English Ale Yeast and the yeast from the brew can and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 18C - 22C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 14 days.
On day 3, add all the Hazelnut Syrup into the FV. Let ferment for a further 4 days.
At around day 7 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.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps.
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve with 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 7.5% ABV.
