Martin's Sweet (Milk) Stout Recipe Kit

Homemade beer, made simple and made fresh. This Sweet Stout recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Sweet (Milk) Stout, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Sweet stout, also called milk stout, gets its name and its body from lactose, a sugar drawn from milk that yeast cannot ferment. What is left behind is residual sweetness and a fuller mouthfeel that softens the roast. The style was once marketed as nourishing and served to nursing mothers and the unwell. Mackeson is the classic English example.

The result is a smooth, dark, faintly sweet stout with notes of chocolate and coffee rounded off by the lactose. Flaked oats add to the silky texture, and the hopping stays low so the sweetness leads.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Maris Otter in place of the recipe's Pale Malt, Maris Otter (Thomas Fawcett); Roasted Barley in place of the recipe's Roasted Barley (Thomas Fawcett). We stock dry yeast only, so LalBrew Windsor (English Ale) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Ringwood Ale (Wyeast Labs 1187).
