Stout

Stout kits produce dark, malt-led beers ranging from dry Irish styles to fuller oatmeal and export stouts. Compare the expected roast character, body, bitterness and finished strength when choosing between them.

Choosing a stout kit

• Traditional stout: Coopers Stout provides a familiar all-round option.
• Oatmeal stout: Black Rock Crafted Oatmeal Stout is suited to customers seeking a fuller oatmeal-style beer.
• Irish stout: Compare Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Irish Stout with Golding Hops and Mangrove Jack’s Irish Stout.
• Export stout: Muntons Connoisseurs Export Stout provides a robust export-style alternative.

Match the kit with its recommended fermentable or dark malt enhancer and avoid adding highly fermentable sugar automatically if you want to retain body. Allow sufficient conditioning time for roast flavours to settle and integrate.
