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 included steeping grains will come milled.

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

Read the instructions but one thing isn't clear. After soaking oak chips in 1 cup of Bourbon, do I just add the bourbon-soaked oak chips to the secondary? Or add those as well as the remaining Bourbon?
Tom on Jun 17, 2020
BEST ANSWER: We've done it both ways, and it's a matter of taste. If you want it really boozy then you can add the liquor in there too. You can always save the extra bourbon and add it later on as you taste the oak developing.

I haven't made this yet, but...
I'm using up the other kits I already have primarily due to how confusing the instructions are in this kit. I think they tried to combine 3 slightly different kits into one, and then you purchase separately the ingredients to complete the one you want. Or maybe you're supposed to use all the ingredients mentioned and blend them together. Again kinda confusing for a newbie.

Now for the long wait......
Just finished putting this one in the primary fermentation stage. Kit was complete and straight forward, as MoreBeer's always have been. You'll need to self source 8oz bourbon & 2oz each of Kona and Sumatra coffee. I opted to buy 5 K-cups of each type of coffee from my local store that sells them individually. Ill carboy it in 5-7 days then bottle once I'm sure its done fermenting. My OG came out at 1.072, a whisker shy of the 1.078 target. I'm still doing stove top boils with 3+ gals so that's probably why. Should be ready to drink in January! tick tock tick tock
