One week after brewing the Area 51 IPA kit<\/a> I decided to use up some other beer ingredients from around the house and threw together this quick stout. I’d had a four pound can of Mountmellick “Famous Irish Style Stout” Hopped Malt Extract, so on the recommendation of the local brewing supply store I added a 3.3 pound can of Thomas Coopers’<\/a> dark liquid malt extract and set it to ferment with a leftover packet of Safale US-05<\/a> (PDF) yeast. I’d considered adding more hops, but I was told that hopped extracts are usually aggressively flavored and thus it’s probably not necessary.<\/p>\n

With 6.5 gallons of water + extract in the pot I set to boiling it. Danielle and I took turns near the kettle so I could run in the house and fetch supplies. After an hour of boiling I was able to cool the wort and set exactly five gallons to ferment, and here it is. While this isn’t a complicated recipe, I hope it’ll result in something quick and easy that Danielle and I both enjoy the taste of. There isn’t much krausen on the beer now but it does seem to be producing enough CO2<\/sub> to be coming along well.<\/p>\n

This should come out to about 5.25%, but we’ll see once the numbers are done in a week or so:<\/p>\n

OG: 1.053
\nFG: 1.021
\nABV: 4.2%<\/p>\n

I think that next I’ll try and make some manner of Ginger Beer. I’m not sure if it’ll simply be a carbonated soda or something fermented, but ginger does sound tasty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
