Deep in the 100-acre wood, where our Brewmasters play, you’ll find the enchanted brew room. An IPA is always a friend, and amber’s and lager’s too. There’s a sour and saison and a dry hop or two. But most off all the Honey Bear Stout. Full of rich malt flavor and stuffed with honey. He’s the Honey Bear Stout, Honey Bear Stout. Willy, nilly silly old stout.

    STEP 1: SANITIZING

    Cleaning is one of the most important steps in brewing. It kills microscopic bacteria, wild yeast, and molds that may cause off-flavors in your beer. Make certain to clean all equipment that comes in contact with your beer by following the directions below:

    1. Fill clean keg with warm water to line mark 1 on the back, then add ½ pack (about 1 tablespoon) of No-Rinse Cleanser and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved, the solution is ready to use. Save the remaining ½ of No-Rinse Cleanser because you will need it for bottling.

    2. Screw on lid and swirl the keg so that the cleaning solution makes contact with the entire interior of the keg, including the underside of the lid. Note that the ventilation notches under the lid may leak solution. Allow to sit for at least 2 minutes and swirl again.

    3. To clean the spigot, open it fully and allow liquid to flow for 5 seconds and then close

    4. Pour the rest of the solution from the keg into a large bowl. Place your spoon/whisk, can opener and measuring cup into the bowl to keep them cleaned throughout the brewing process. Leave them immersed for at least 2 minutes in cleaning solution prior to using.

    5. After all surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, do not rinse or dry the keg or utensils. Return lid to top of keg, proceed immediately to brewing.


    STEP 2: BREWING

    Brewing beer is the process of combining a starch source (in this case, a malt brewing extract) with yeast. Once combined, the yeast eats the sugars in the malt, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide (CO2). This process is called fermentation.

    1. Remove the yeast packet from under the lid of the can of Brewing Extract, then place the unopened can and BrewMax LME's in hot tap water.

    2. Place the packet of honey malt into the muslin bag tying it closed, then trim away excess material.

    3. Using the measuring cup, pour 8 cups of water into your clean 4-quart or larger pot. Bring this water to a temperature of 155, add in the honey malt and steep for 30 minutes at 155 degrees.

    4. Once 30 has passed remove the pot from heat, rinse the grain bag with 1-cup of hot water then discard.

    5. Open the can of Brewing Extract and the LME's and pour the contents into the hot mixture in your pot. Then pour the 12oz of Honey into the pot. Stir until thoroughly mixed. This mixture of unfermented beer is called wort.

    6. Fill your fermenter with cold tap water to the mark 1 on the back. If using any other fermenter this would be approximately 1 gallon of water.

    7. Pour the wort into your fermenter, and then bring the volume of the fermenter to mark 2 by adding more cold water. (If you have a different fermenter top it off with cold water to the 8.5-liter mark).

    8. Stir your wort mixture vigorously with your sanitized spoon or whisk.

    9. Sprinkle the S-04 yeast packet into the keg, and screw on the lid. Do not stir.

    Put your fermenter in a location with a consistent temperature between 68° and 78° F (20°-25° C), and out of direct sunlight. Ferment for 21 days.


    STEP 3: Dry-Hopping

    Dry hopping is the process of adding hops to a beer which will impart more hop flavor and aroma in your beer.

    1. At day 18 of fermentation open, the Centennial and Cascade Hops with clean scissors. Careful remove the lid from your fermenter and dump the pellet hops in. Quickly close the lid.


    STEP 4: BOTTLING & CARBONATING

    After 21 days, taste a small sample to determine if the beer is fully fermented and ready to bottle. If it tastes like flat beer, it is ready. If it’s sweet, then it’s not ready. Let it ferment for 3 more days (24 total). At this point, it is time to bottle. Do not let it sit in the fermenter for longer than 24 days total.

    1. When your beer is ready to bottle, fill a 1-gallon container with warm water, then add the remaining ½ pack of the No-Rinse Cleanser and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved, it is ready to use

    2. Distribute the cleaning solution equally among the bottles. Screw-on caps (or cover with a metal cap if using glass bottles) and shake bottles vigorously. Allow to sit 10 minutes, then shake the bottles again. Remove caps and empty all cleaning solutions into a large bowl. Use this solution to clean any other equipment you may be using for bottling. Do not rinse.

    3. Add 2 Carbonation Drops to each 740-mL bottle. For 1-liter bottles, add 2 ½ drops; for ½-liter bottles add 1 drop. Alternatively, you can add table sugar using this table as a guide. 

    4. Holding the bottle at an angle, fill each bottle to about 2 inches from the bottle’s top.

    5. Place caps on bottles, hand tighten, and gently turn the bottle over to check the bottle’s seal. It is not necessary to shake them.

    6. Store the bottles upright and out of direct sunlight in a location with a consistent temperature between 70°-76°F or 21°-24°C. Allow sitting for a minimum of 14 days. If the temperature is cooler than suggested it may take an additional week to reach full carbonation. 


    TIP FROM OUR BREWMASTERS

    After the primary carbonation has taken place your beer is ready to drink. We recommend putting 1 bottle in the refrigerator at first for 48 hrs. After 48hrs. give it a try and if it is up to your liking put the rest of your beer in the fridge. If it does not taste quite right, leave the bottles out at room temp for another week or so. Keep following this method until your brew tastes just how you like it. 

    This process is called conditioning and during this time the yeast left in your beer can help clean up any off-flavors. Almost everything gets a little better with time and so will your beer

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Sparky from Amazing This is one of the best stouts I have ever had. It has a lot of flavor, and is slightly sweet from the honey. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to brew a stout. B

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Northern Wildcat from Nice flavor...not heavy. For a stout it goes down smooth, isn't heavy, nice after taste. I would gladly pay for this at the bar. For a stout home brew it is very good.

    Is this sweet and/or honey flavored?

    Asked by: stannius
    Hello, it is not particularly sweet, but well balanced and does have the taste of honey. If you want more honey flavor, use a honey containing a higher pollen content. Cheers!
