Martin's Irish Stout Recipe Kit

Brew your own beer at home without the fuss. This Irish Stout recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Irish Stout, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Irish stout is the dry stout, the style Guinness built and the one most people picture when they hear the word. Roasted barley is the signature. It gives the beer its black color and tan head, along with a sharp, coffee-like bitterness that dries out the finish. The body is lighter than the color suggests, which is a big part of why it goes down so easily.

At four percent with a firm roast bitterness, this is a classic session stout, dry rather than sweet, with flaked barley adding body and a dense, creamy head. Martin brewed this batch with Des and Steph.
