Product details

Bourbon barrel-aged beers have been a hugely popular style ever since American craft brewers first started exploring this deliciously innovative technique in the 1990s. And the results of those experiments have only become more sought-after over the past decades.

We've packed the best elements of the style, along with the finest ingredients, into a foolproof recipe kit that brings the best of the craft breweries to you. By starting with a stronger-than-average robust porter, then infusing it with bourbon-soaked oak (we recommend Maker's Mark), the end result is quite possibly the best beer ever.

You'll have to supply your own bourbon, so be sure to save a little to sip on brew day to really capture the spirit. The intense aroma and flavor of toasted American oak and the sweet graininess of good bourbon meld with the bittersweet roastiness of porter to make for a very characterful beer.

Due to the high starting gravity of this kit, we recommend pitching multiple packs of yeast or preparing a yeast starter for best results.

Good recipe

The instructions were a little unclear about soaking the oak chips in bourbon but otherwise a very good kit

Awesome Brew

I have brewed this recipe four times in the last two years - I love it! I've refined the time frames a bit and am even more happy with the outcome. I leave it in the primary for two weeks, leave it in the secondary for 3 weeks before adding the bourbon chips. Then another two weeks before bottling. I add 2 teaspoons of hydrated US-05 to the bottling bucket because some of my previous batches were not as carbonated as I wanted. It was ready to drink after 3 weeks conditioning. But, I think this beer tastes better as it ages. I am letting it sit in the basement for a few more months. This is an awesome brew.

Can't wait to start brewing!

The delivery of my Bourbon Barrel Porter kit was prompt and I immediately refrigerated the yeast. It's been five years since I brewed a batch of beer so I'll be relying heavily on your brewmasters as I go through the steps.
