Not just for hipsters and baristas, this smooth coffee milk stout is just at home in Melbourne’s graffiti’d lanes as it is in laid-back ‘burbs or even down on the farm. It pours deep ruby brown under a rich tan head, making it perfect for froth-art, if that’s ya thing. Then the mocha aromas of chocolate and coffee lead you down a colourful alleyway of flavours: sweet and malty at first before turning unexpectedly to roasty bitterness from the coffee and hops, and, thanks to the unfermented lactose, a mouthfeel that’s as big and full as a Brunswick beard.

Place the Chocolate Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack them using a rolling pin.
Add the cracked Chocolate Malt and 2 litres of cold water, fit the lid and sit in the fridge overnight.

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 5 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 1016 to 1020).
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 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 5.7% ABV.
