Mangrove Jack’s Recipe Range gives you a flexible new way to brew at home. Start with one of six numbered malt extract cans, then brew it simply with dextrose or combine it with a Mangrove Jack’s Hop Blend, Brew Enhancer and Craft Series Yeast to create one of more than 40 different recipes. The formula stays the same — Can + Hop Blend + Enhancer + Craft Series Yeast = Recipe — but the beer you make is entirely up to you.

Mangrove Jack’s Recipe Range 6 Stout is a hopped liquid malt extract base that delivers roasted malt and coffee aromas, a smooth body, dry finish and moderate bitterness.

What Does 6 Stout Taste Like?

6 Stout produces a dark brown to black beer with roasted malt and coffee aromas, a smooth mouthfeel, dry finish and moderate bitterness.

Its robust malt base makes it ideal for a range of darker beer styles, with the chosen hop blend, enhancer and yeast determining whether the finished beer is dry and traditional, richer and fuller-bodied, or more intense and modern.

Two Ways to Brew

Brew a Simple Stout

Combine the can with 1kg of dextrose and use the 5g yeast sachet supplied under the lid.

This produces approximately 20 litres, or 35 pints, of smooth, dry stout at around 4.6% ABV.

Build a Recipe Range Beer

Use 6 Stout as the base and combine it with your chosen Mangrove Jack’s Hop Blend, Brew Enhancer and Craft Series Yeast.

Changing these three ingredients allows the same malt extract base to create a completely different finished beer.

Mangrove Jack’s Recommended Recipe: Irish Dry Stout

For a smooth, dry and traditionally styled Irish Dry Stout, Mangrove Jack’s recommends:

• Can: 6 Stout
• Hop Blend: ½ x H10 Earthy Hop Sachet
• Enhancer: E1 Light Enhancer
• Yeast: M42 New World Strong Ale Yeast
• Makes: 20 litres
• Approximate ABV: 4.5%

The H10 Earthy Hop Blend adds restrained earthy hop character, while the E1 Light Enhancer supports fermentation and body without making the beer overly sweet. M42 New World Strong Ale Yeast helps produce a clean, well-attenuated finish that suits the dry stout style.
