Why Choose Black Rock?

Crafted in a state-of-the-art Krones brewery, Black Rock kits are brewed using only the finest New Zealand malts before being concentrated down for your convenience. This means you can create authentic craft beer at home without the costly, time-consuming all-grain process.

Looking for a food match? The Black Rock Miners Stout Goes Well With…

1. Lamb shank Pie: The richness of a slow-cooked lamb shank pie, with its hearty gravy, complements the deep flavors of the stout, enhancing both the meat’s and the beer’s taste profiles.

2. Venison Burgers: The gamey flavors of a venison burger, ideally topped with caramelized onions and a slice of smoked cheese, marry well with the stout, creating a harmonious blend of earthy and rich tastes.

3. Grilled Rib Eye Steak: The smoky, charred flavors of a well-grilled ribeye steak will enhance the dark, roasted character of the stout. The meat’s juiciness and the beer’s full-bodied nature are a match made in heaven.

4. Chocolate and Raspberry Brownie: The bitterness of dark chocolate combined with the tartness of raspberries in a brownie complements the stout’s chocolatey undertones and its overall complexity.

5. Chocolate Mud Cake: For a sweet pairing, the dense, rich chocolate mud cake, a Kiwi favorite, echoes the chocolate notes in the stout, making for a decadently harmonious combination.

Additional Fermentables Required

To get the best from this brew, you’ll need to add fermentables. Choose one of the following options depending on your style preference:

Option One: The Basics Brew
Use Liquid Brewing Sugar or Dextrose.
For better body and head retention when using Dextrose, we recommend Premium Blend Full over straight dextrose.

Option Two: Malt Character with Crisp Body
Use 1Kg of Dark Dry Malt Extract to give support depth and complexity in the malt profile with a crisp finish for an every day brew.

Option Three: Smooth and Satisfying
For a fuller mouthfeel and smooth finish, use Liquid Malt Extract.
Choose 1.7Kg Black Rock Dark or to introduce a little more hop flavour to the profile try the 1.5Kg Brick Road Hopped Dark

Want to Make a High ABV Brew?

Chose from the required fermentables above (either dry or liquid malt for best results) and then add further:

~5.5% ABV add 500g Dextrose
~6.5% ABV add 1Kg Liquid Brewing Sugar

Note: Too much dextrose can affect your flavour profile. We wouldn’t suggest more than 1Kg of dextrose.

Optional Extras

Boost your brew with these recommended extras for better flavour, fermentation, and finish:

Craft Yeast
Upgrade your fermentation by using a quality craft yeast.

Option One: For a yeast that ferments with a clean profile, or if you are brewing a higher ABV brew, we recommend 2 x packets of the M42 Strong Ale yeast (20g total) to let the full character of the malt take centre stage..

Option Two: For that ferments with rich, dark fruit flavours and is is suited to full bodied ales and with exceptional depth go with 2 x packets of the M15 Empire Ale yeast (20g total).

Note: When using craft yeast always check the ideal fermentation termperature range for that yeast.

Yeast Nutrients
Add yeast nutrient to support a healthy fermentation, ensuring your yeast performs at its best for full attenuation and a consistent result.

Making a Milt Stout?

To make a Milk Stout ferment your brew with Lactose (in addition to the required fermentables. Check out ‘Mastering Lactose‘ in useful resources for a full guide including suggested dosage rates. If you’re using Lactose for the first time, start with a LOW dose to get a sense of the flavour profile.

Finings

You can use finings, but they won’t offer a benefit with dark brews like stouts.
