Description
The Malt Miller Brew Day in a box recipe kits have been developed to make brewing with the very best ingredients as easy as possible. Each kit contains all the ingredients required, crushed malt, hops, style specific yeast and priming sugar. Plus, kettle finings, yeast nutrient and where applicable vegan finings. Full instructions for brewing beer from grain as well as a recipe specific brew sheet.
Inspired by our Dublin Draught Stout Recipe. Expect a dry finish to this deeply recognisable stout, with a soft creamy head. This beer is wonderful bottle conditioned but also served through a keg, ideally coupled with a stout spout on your tap to enhance that amazingly creamy head.

Secondary additions:
Feeling super adventurous? To get that “Guinness tang,” try this. After pitching the yeast to your stout, pull off approx 550ml of pitched wort to a sanitised 650ml bottle (22 fl oz). Pitch bottle with a small amount of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus (not included). Cover bottle with aluminum foil and let ferment out. When beer in bottle is done fermenting, pour it in a saucepan and heat to 72°C for 15 minutes to kill the bugs. Cool the beer and pour it into a clean sanitised bottle. Cap bottle and refrigerate. Add to stout when bottling or kegging the full batch..
Our Brew Day in a Box recipe kits are suitable for both experienced brewers and those at the beginning of this amazing, rewarding hobby.
Each box is far more than just packaging, the design includes useful pop outs that can be saved to record your brew day notes and beer specifics such as starting and finishing gravity. Plus 4 beer mats and a tap handle hanger for writing your beer description.

Brewed 3 weeks ago and I’ve just sampled the first pint and I can honestly say, not being a big head, that its a pub quality Stout. If you local is out of Guinness this is more than just an adequate replacement. Bring on the next box as this is set to become a regular brew.
