Everything you need to craft your perfect brew
STORY
Overview: Velvet Reconciliation Cider Stout is a smooth stout-cider hybrid inspired by a Black Velvet, the classic combination of stout and cider. St. Patrick’s Irish Stout Brewing Extract, Honey Malt, oat flakes, lactose, Fuggle hops, S-04 yeast, and apple cider come together for a balanced beer with stout malt flavor, apple character, creamy body, and a 5.4% finish.
PROFILE
Tasting Notes: Expect a smooth, balanced beer with dark malt flavor, subtle honey-like sweetness, soft oat body, gentle cider character, and a lightly fruity apple finish. It drinks like a cross between a stout and a cider, with enough malt depth to keep it grounded.
IMPORTANT BREWING NOTE
Cider Note: This recipe uses 1 gallon of apple cider provided by the brewer. The cider is added directly to the fermenter before the wort is poured in.
Lactose Note: This recipe contains lactose, a milk-derived sugar used to add sweetness, body, and a creamy mouthfeel. In a finished 2-gallon batch, that equals about 0.25 oz, or 7 g, per 16 oz pint.
Hybrid Style Note: This recipe is inspired by a Black Velvet, but it is brewed as one fermented batch instead of mixing finished stout and cider in the glass.
