This Brew Requires An Additional Fermentable

For a very light body:

For a very light bodied brew you can use a liquid brewing sugar. As a minimum you require BrewTec 1KG Liquid Brewing Sugar or to increase the target ABV by approximately 0.75-1% use Brew Master 1.4KG. If you take this approach we would encourage you to bottle mature for around 8-weeks before you drink.

For smoother full body and depth of flavour:

Using the 1.7KG Black Rock Dark Liquid Malt Extract will significantly improve the depth and richness of flavour as well as improve body and offer a smoother mouthfeel, more characteristic of stouts. We recomend this approach.

 

For a higher ABV Stout. 

For a target ABV ~6.5% use 1.7KG of Black Rock Dark Liquid Malt Extract and 1KG BrewTec Liquid Brewing Sugar.

For a taget ABV 7-7.5% use 1.7KG of Black Rock Dark Liquid Malt Extract and 1.4KG Brew Master Liquid Brewing Sugar.

For a target ABV ~8-9% use 1.7KG of Black Rock Dark Liquid Malt Extract and 2KG (2 tins) of BrewTec Liquid Brewing Sugar.

NOTE: When brewing a higher ABV brew we would encourage you to use the Mangrove Jacks M42 Strong Ale Yeast, which has a tolerance of up to 10% ABV.

 

To Make a Milt Stout. 

Add Brewing Lactose to your brew. You can find suggested dosage rates for adding Brewing Lactose here. If this is your first time we would suggesting adding a low dosage rage.

 

Suggested Yeast Pairing

The Black Rock miners Stout will work exceptionally well with the Mangrove Jacks M42 Strong Ale Yeast especially when brewing with liquid malt extract and/or when adding additional fermentables to increase the target alcohol content.

 

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.
