Product Description

If you can make oatmeal, you can make beer. Brooklyn Brew Shop's
kitchen-friendly Beer Making Kits makes brewing easy by using only fresh, whole ingredients and traditional methods used in homes and breweries for centuries. By brewing with the same ingredients (malted barley, hops, and yeast) that the best craft breweries in the world use, making high quality and complex beers becomes possible on the stovetop in your very own kitchen, big or small.

Decadent and delicious, our Chocolate Maple Porter gets its dark chocolate flavor from a handful of Chocolate Malt. Think of this beer like a grown up version of hot chocolate. Thick, rich, creamy and a tad sweet, the addition of maple syrup at the end of the boil makes this beer a true indulgence.

WARNING:

CHOKING HAZARD -- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Following the instructions to a T resulted in slightly over carbonated beer the first time we tried this. Could be that my fermenting environment wasn't warm enough so I increased the initial ferment to 3 weeks (rather than 2) and problem solved. The instructions are easy enough to follow, although there is a lot going on during the mash and sparge stages. Planning thoroughly was necessary (perhaps this is common sense but I thought it was worth mentioning). The final products are delicious, in my opinion. Even the initial problem of over carbonation was easily enough solved by pouring carefully into a glass immediately upon opening said beer (at that point the bottles had a tendency to foam over upon opening). It is definitely a skill that requires some practice so don't be too disheartened if the first batch isn't PERFECT. C'est la vie, as they say. Really delicious beer, though.
