The easiest beer recipe kits start with fresh, measured ingredients. This Baltic Porter recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Baltic Porter, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Baltic Porter grew out of the strong English porters shipped across the North Sea to the Baltic states in the 1700s. Local brewers took up the style and made it their own, usually fermenting cold with lager yeast rather than warm with ale yeast. The result is a big, dark, smooth beer: think dried fruit and dark caramel over a soft roast that never turns sharp or ashy.

Around eight percent, this one uses Munich and crystal malts for depth, Carafa and pale chocolate for color, and a lager fermentation to keep it clean under all that strength. Styrian Goldings and Perle round out the hopping.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Munich Malt in place of the recipe's Munich I (Weyermann); Crystal 50 in place of the recipe's Caramel 60. We stock dry yeast only, so SafLager W-34/70 (German Lager) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's German Lager (White Labs WLP830).

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Baltic Porter. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
