Your Label Peelers S'more Fun Blonde Stout Original Beer Kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.

Sip on a beer that captures the essence of summer in every drop. With the S'more Fun Blonde Stout Beer Kit, you can bring that tropical paradise to your home, no matter the season. This Coconut Tropical Stout is a brilliant mix of citrus nuts and coconut undertones, making it the perfect beach beer for your vacation or a delightful reminder of summer when you're cramped indoors.

Crafting this unique brew is an adventure in itself. You'll start with 6 lbs. of Golden Light Dry Malt Extract, laying the foundation for a beer that's as golden as a sunset. The addition of 8 oz. of Flaked Oats gives your stout a creamy, smooth texture, while 4 oz. of Caramel 60L Malt adds a touch of sweetness, reminiscent of the caramelized edges of a perfectly toasted marshmallow. Speaking of marshmallows, you'll only need 2 oz. of the Toasted Marshmallow Flavoring to infuse your beer with that nostalgic campfire aroma.

The complexity of flavors doesn't stop there. With 4 oz. of Biscuit Malt, your beer will have a subtle, nutty backbone, perfectly complementing the 4 oz. of Cacao Nibs that bring a hint of chocolatey richness. The citrusy notes are introduced by the harmonious blend of 1 oz. of Saaz Hops and 1 oz. of East Kent Hops, creating a refreshing balance that dances on your palate.

To ensure your brew is as vibrant as a tropical sunset, the Yeast Energizer and Irish Moss Combo Packet work their magic, while the SafAle S-04 Dry Yeast brings it all together, fermenting your creation into a masterpiece. With the S'more Fun Blonde Stout Beer Kit, you're not just making beer; you're crafting a liquid postcard from paradise, ready to be savored with every sip.

star sanSanitizer and Spray Bottle

Good sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your S'more Fun Blonde Stout beer kit. A great practice for extra protection is to have a spray bottle filled with sanitizing solution so you can re-sanitize everything that touches or goes near your beer. Sanitation is much more difficult with beer than wine because beer has a higher pH. Wine's high acidity makes bacterial infection less likely but with beer, one small mishap can cost you your batch.

When your S'more Fun Blonde Stout is done, you will need bottles. This standard 12 ounce bottle is a good choice. You will need 54 for a 5 gallon batch. Bottles do not come with caps.

Carboys   

The 5 gallon carboy pictured here is the standard size for any beer kit. If you have never worked with a carboy, it is important to know they should not be moved full without a carboy handle or a carrier.

The pot pictured is an 8 gallon pot that is perfect for any beer kit or a standard 5 gallon batch. 

wart-chiller.pngWort Chillers and Thermometers

Wort Chillers and Thermometers are long term investments. It is important to chill your S'more Fun Blonde Stout wort quickly. The quicker you chill it the stronger the cold break will be. You also need a good thermometer that reads fast temperature fluctuations.  

SiphonsSiphons

Auto-siphons are a great luxury item to have in your brew equipment. Once you have one you will never go without it again. Don't forget to use a heavy duty sanitizer to clean it since you don't want to replace it as often as hoses. A good sanitizer for that job is Five Star San. 

FermenterFermenters

The fermenter pictured here is standard for a 5 gallon beer kit.

minijet-tubing-34987-97929.jpgHoses

 Many people reuse their hoses for far too long. Replacing your hoses often or even using as single use items is highly recommended with beer making. Hoses are very hard to clean and beer is very susceptible to bacterial infection. You do not want to risk losing your S'more Fun Blonde Stout over a few feet of unsanitary hose.

Pouring your wort into a carboy can be tricky. Use a big funnel made just for the job. They even have different mesh screens to remove particles. 

AirlocksAirlocks

It is recommended to replace airlocks often. Because they never physically touch the beer, the sanitation risk is too often overlooked. Bacteria can spread without physical contact in a closed environment and plastic stubbornly harbors bacteria.   

6.5 stopperStoppers and Bungs 

Bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced. They can dry out and harbor bacteria. 

 carboy brushCarboy Brush

Keeping your carboy clean before and after use is key to avoid bacterial infection in your beer. A carboy brush is a great tool to get into those nooks and crannies.

Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer is a convenient way of cleaning your bottles and/or carboys.  This high quality tool will come in handy.  Hooks up straight to your faucet with the bottle washer adapter (#4804) and puts out plenty of pressure to clean those stubborn stains from beer bottles that have been sitting around.

When you bottle your S'more Fun Blonde Stout, you will need to cap your bottles. This capper is inexpensive, easy to use and does not require attaching to a counter. It has a magnet to hold the cap in place.
