Your Label Peelers Chicory Dickory Dock 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.
Introducing the Chicory Dickory Dock Stout Beer Kit - a unique brew that's a cut above your everyday stout. This isn't just a beer kit, it's a ticket to a flavor journey that's as exciting as it is rewarding.
Imagine a brew that's as earthy as a forest floor after a summer rain, with a complexity that's as intriguing as a well-written novel. That's what you get with our Chicory Dickory Dock Stout. The chicory, often used as a coffee substitute, infuses this beer with a fresh spin, creating a malt-forward background that's as unique as your fingerprint.
Your taste buds will dance with delight as they discover the subtle hint of licorice, a twist that adds an extra layer of complexity to this dark ale. And the flavor doesn't stop there. This stout pairs beautifully with chocolate and stone fruits, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
Now, let's talk ingredients. This kit comes packed with 5 lbs. of Dark Dry Malt Extract, the backbone of your brew, providing a rich, malty sweetness. The 8 oz. of Maltodextrin adds body and mouthfeel, while the 1 lb. of Vienna Malt brings a touch of toasted and nutty flavor.
The 8 oz. of Caramel 80L Malt contributes a deep copper color and a hint of caramel sweetness. The 8 oz. of Chocolate Malt is the secret behind the stout's dark color and chocolatey undertones. The 4 oz. of Black Malt adds depth and intensity to the color and flavor.
To balance out the sweetness, we've included 2 oz. of Fuggle Hops, known for their earthy and mildly bitter profile. And to top it all off, a spice pack that's like the cherry on top of your brewing experience.
With the Chicory Dickory Dock Stout Beer Kit, you're not just brewing beer, you're crafting an experience. So, roll up your sleeves, and let's get brewing!

SanitizerGood sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your Chicory Dickory Dock 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.
BottlesWhen your Chicory Dickory Dock 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.
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.
Brew PotsThe pot pictured is an 8 gallon pot that is perfect for any beer kit or a standard 5 gallon batch.
Wort Chillers and Thermometers
Wort Chillers and Thermometers are long term investments. It is important to chill your Chicory Dickory Dock 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.
SiphonsAuto-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.
The fermenter pictured here is standard for a 5 gallon beer kit.
HosesMany 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 Chicory Dickory Dock Stout over a few feet of unsanitary hose.
FunnelsPouring 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.
AirlocksIt 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.
Bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced. They can dry out and harbor bacteria.
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
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.
CapperWhen you bottle your Chicory Dickory Dock 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.
DID YOU KNOW
In 1904, Professor E. S. Salmon of Wye College in Kent, England initiated a groundbreaking hop breeding program. By 1934, he had released Brewer's Gold and Brewer's Favorite for commercial growth, making them highly sought-after by brewers. Over the next two and a half decades, Salmon released more than two dozen new varietals, and Brewer's Gold became the predecessor of modern hop releases all over the world. He passed away in 1959, leaving an invaluable legacy in the brewing industry.
