- Liquid malt base built on pale, dark and roasted speciality malts
- M42 New World Strong Ale yeast (10g), which ferments cleanly and adds a hint of fruit
- Goldings hops (20g) for a gentle, earthy balance
You'll also need
1kg of dextrose or brew enhancer (for example Brewco Sugar (Dextrose) 1kg), or 1.2kg of Mangrove Jack's Pure Liquid Malt Extract for a richer body. Mix the pouch with your sugar or malt, top up to 23 litres and sprinkle on the yeast - full steps are in our Craft Series instructions.
A good pick if you enjoy a classic dry Irish stout and want something smooth and roasty without mashing grain.
