Product Details

Go from grain to glass right in your own kitchen. This English Porter recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's

Go from grain to glass right in your own kitchen. This English Porter recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Cherry Chocolate Nitro Porter, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Porter was born in early 1700s London, a dark brown beer that fueled the dockworkers and street porters it was named for. The English version is roasty but restrained, leaning more toward chocolate and toffee than the sharp burnt edge of a stout, and it stays light enough on the palate to drink by the pint.

Poured on nitro it turns silky, with a tight cascading head and a rounder, sweeter impression. This one is built around cherry and chocolate: dark malt supplies the cocoa side, and you add sweet cherry puree yourself to bring the fruit.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Biscuit Malt in place of the recipe's Brown Malt; Crystal 50 in place of the recipe's Fawcett Crystal 45. We stock dry yeast only, so SafAle S-04 (English Ale) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's London Ale Yeast (Wyeast Labs 1028). Not included, add your own: 3 lbs sweet cherry puree.

  • 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 English 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
