This jet-black stout languishes in the glass with a thick tan head and aromas of dark chocolate and coffee, with flavours of toffee and malt sweetness all balanced by a bold bitterness that would make even the coolest barista go weak at the knees. Coffee’s up, beer lovers!

Ingredients

1 x 1.3kg Mr Beer Golden Ale
2 x 250g Mr Beer Unhopped Malt Extract – Robust
1 x 35g Coffee Beans
1 x 11.5g Safale US-05 Dry Yeast
1 x 72g Mr Beer Carbonation Drops

1. Mix

Add the Mr Beer Golden Ale, and both Mr Beer Unhopped Malt Extracts to a clean and sanitised FV
(Fermenting Vessel).
Fill the FV with cold water to the 8.5 litre mark - no need to stir.
Sprinkle the Safale US-05 Dry Yeast and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment at 17C - 20C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 10 days.
On day 7 add the coffee beans to the brew by wrapping them in a mesh cleaning cloth (pulled
straight from the pack) and place directly on top of the brew then re-fit the lid.
After a couple of days check the Specific Gravity (SG)
Check the SG again the following day and so on.

3. Bottle

Once the brew SG has stabilised over a couple of days (expect about 1010 to 1014).
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).
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least four 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 7.2% ABV
