What do I need to get started? 

Basic brew kit - Fermentation bucket, capper, airlock, bottling tube ect. 

Empty bottles (Not twist top bottles) and caps.    

Carbonation sugar (Dextrose work best).   

No Rinse Sanitiser. MOST IMPORTANT STEP!     

For a craftier option, try adding rich flavours to enhance this brew.

For chocolate flavours, add cacao nibs during fermentation.

For bourbon flavours, add straight bourbon or bourbon essence before bottling or kegging.

For coffee flavours, add whole coffee beans, and/or freshly brewed cold brew coffee around 3 days into fermentation.

For extra body, sweetness and a milky finish, add 200-400g of lactose during fermentation (Note: this will increase your SG readings and give you a higher finishing gravity due to the unfermentable sugars contained in lactose).

Suggested hop additions (dry hopping on day 6 of fermentation):

English Stout: use East Kent Goldings and/or Fuggle for a traditional earthy, floral, and slightly spicy character.

American Stout: use Cascade and/or Centennial for a citrusy and floral character.

Oatmeal Stout: use Willamette and/or Fuggle for a subtle earthy and floral character.

Imperial Stout: use Northern Brewer and/or Chinook for a robust bitterness with pine and spice notes.

Milk Stout: use East Kent Goldings and/or Saaz for a mild, herbal, and slightly sweet character.
