Product Details

Fresh beer ingredients, measured out and ready to brew. This English Porter recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Peppermint

Fresh beer ingredients, measured out and ready to brew. This English Porter recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Peppermint Porter, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The porter was London's beer, the drink that powered the city through the 18th century and took its name from the market and river porters who drank it by the gallon. The English version runs dark brown rather than black, moderate in strength and built on a gentle roast: chocolate and toffee with a whiff of coffee, and none of the burnt edge of a stout.

Peppermint is the seasonal turn here, a cool, minty lift that plays against the porter's chocolate malt and reads like a winter dessert in a glass. English hops and a traditional ale yeast keep the base rooted while the mint sits on top.

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 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).

  • 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
