This Golden Stout (aka Blonde Stout) is a beer infused with freshly roasted coffee. Surprisingly, the coffee flavor is super subtle— it’s more of a mocha/vanilla combo rightfully named “Nilla Latte”. It’s a smooth, easy-drinking, golden-colored beer with medium-roast coffee beans. Although it has some stout characteristics, there is zero roasted malt in the recipe.

Instructions

For a 5 gallon (19L) batch:

1. Mash Maris Otter, Golden naked oats, Flaked Oats, and Lactose at 152F (67C).
2. Add Warrior hops and boil for 60 minutes.
3. Ferment with White Labs Irish Ale Yeast at 67F until complete.
4. After fermentation, prepare the coffee infusion: add 3 oz (85g) of whole bean medium-roast coffee to a sanitized nylon mesh bag. Boil the bag in water instead of soaking it in sanitizer.
5. Submerge the coffee bag in the fermenter (maintain 68-70F), ensuring it can be easily removed.
6. Remove the coffee bag after 24-48 hours, or when the beer reaches your desired flavor profile. Take a sample every 12 hours to monitor progression.
7. When racking to a keg, add 1 fl oz (30 mL) vanilla extract.

TIP: After opening the fermenter, keep positive carbon dioxide pressure on the tank to avoid oxygen ingress when inserting/removing the coffee bag.
