Description

(Makes 5 gallons) Jim was looking for a dark, smooth, creamy mouth feel stout just like an Australian stout he had tasted years ago. Over the years, Jim found a clone that was close but needed some small changes. After many trials and test batches, he came up with this recipe that is very drinkable when it is fresh. It will get smoother with a couple months of aging and creaminess added by the lactose makes this a very good winter warming stout. Jim hopes you enjoy this beer as much as he has. Jim recommends WLP004 Irish ale yeast.

  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.052-56
  • SRM (Color Range): 41
  • IBUs: 39-43

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.

Absolutely Love this. Serve it to "non-craft beer drinkers," and they are hesitant to try, now ask for it everytime they're over to visit. I think they're here for the beer.

Incredible...
I love stouts, basic stouts. I rarely like anything added to them. The exception is the occasional milk stout. Some can be too sweet and I generally use Left Hands Milk Stout as a comparison. Love the Left Hand. This recipe turned out so close and delicious! VERY VERY Happy.

Get some now!
This is my favorite beer I've ever brewed in the 20ish different recipes I've tried. I would actually buy this in 6 packs from the store! It comes out very creamy with a great balance of flavors. I had several friends over who don't like dark beers at all and they absolutely loved it.

If you can be patient and drink on something else, let this beer age for a month or more to really see it at its best. I used some of the recommended WLP04 Irish ale yeast.

I can't put this over enough, just buy it!

Let it condition for a month
Opened first bottle after 14 days of conditioning and it was just ok. I opened the next bottle after 30 days and it was amazing. High marks from everyone that i shared with. I will definitely make this again.

Great Milk Stout
Great Extract recipe. Not that the style is supposed to be, but I found myself wanting a little more chocholatey flavor, but tastes great. Would recommend.

Awesome Milk Stout
The stout was exceptional, smooth, creamy. About 1.5 in primary, 2 weeks in secondary. My buddies tried to drink it all when we played poker. Goes great with cigars! I also tried the Sweet Stout recipe, but Jim's recipe is more what I wanted. Highly recommended.

Nice Milk Stout
I've made many Stouts in the past but this was my first Milk Stout and the results were great, smooth and creamy mouth feel with medium to full body. I modified the recipe with some flaked oats and some Bourbon Chips.
The Bourbon effect was minimal but noticeable although I would prefer more Bourbon flavor.

Great Stout
Third batch of my brewing experience. Awesome flavor. Non beer drinkers like it. Beer drinkers see the dark color and expect something harsh. To their surprise, it's mellow. I will definitely brew this again next Winter.

Good, but light
On the whole, a really good brew. Smooth and creamy, even if a bit on the thin side.
