The Blarney Stout Is an Irish Stout/Dry Stout recipe designed for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.

With a history dating back to the 1700’s, evolving from London porters into what was once called a stout porter, the Irish or ‘dry stout’ was popularised by Guinness. In the simplest of terms, it is a black beer with a pronounced roasted flavour similar to coffee and/or dark chocolate. While some versions may have a level of caramel malt sweetness, this recipe is firmly in the dry stout camp, utilising a simple grain bill built upon lovely Marris Otter ale malt, classic roasted barley for roasted coffee notes and colour, and flaked barley for a creamy mouthfeel. Fuggles hops are used for a moderate level of bittering and background earthy notes. Roasty, bitter and restorative mid strength drinking perfect for the cooler months. Go on give it a kiss!

This recipe assumes correct mineral additions for pH calculations, which are not included in the kit. Please purchase these separately.

Our kits are fresh! We assemble the ingredients after you place your order. The grain bill will be milled, unless you tell us in your order comments that you prefer it not to be.
