Description

  • Inspired by Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout®, this kit combines our All Out Brunch Stout recipe with an addition of bourbon-soaked oak chips
  • Includes Nugget and Willamette hops
  • Estimated ABV: 7.5%
  • Estimated IBUs: 60
  • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

Bourbon Belle takes the beautifully complex flavor of Brunch Stout and adds a charming southern drawl. Similar to "All Out", this recipe combines a variety of dark malts, cacao nibs, and ground coffee for a remarakably rich flavor profile, and then adds a little giddy-up with an addition of bourbon-soaked oak chips. The oak chips are added to simulate the barrel-aging process used for making Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout®, or "KBS". You wouldn't expect a foal to win the Triple-Crown, so practice patience when brewing Bourbon Belle. We recommend a conditioning period of 2 to 6 months to allow this beer to fully mature before entering the race.

Please note: this recipe calls for 2 oz of Kona and Sumatra coffee grounds and 1 cup of Kentucky Bourbon, which are not included in the kit.

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.078
  • SRM (Color Range): 40+
  • IBUs: 60
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 7.5%
  • Oak Chips Included

Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.  For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All grains will come milled, unless you select unmilled base malts.

One of the BEST beers I have ever brewed!
This one is one of my absolute favorites, and I have been brewing since 1982. I have brewed this three times now and it is going to be one of my regular beers in my kegerator from now on. The instructions say to age this for 2-6 months, but it is amazing after just a few days in the keg after forced carbonation! Everyone who tries this loves it; even those who normally don't like stouts. I used Jim Bean Kentucky Bourbon and since I didn't have any Kona coffee, I used Sumatra coffee at both stages that called for the addition of coffee. I also used Wyeast American ale Liquid 125 ml for my yeast. The one other thing I did was hand mill my grain even though I purchased the pre-milled grain. The pre-milled grain was a bit course and by hand milling it I got a more complete fermentation and an ABV of 8.0%. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Lack of instructions
Disappointed in the lack of all-grain brewing instructions. In a follow up call with customer service, I was told that the all-grain specific instructions are still under development. As a brand new brewer, detailed instructions are important to me

I'm sure it will be good all my other purchases have been very good but this beer remains in fermenter for several months so I can't say right now
