This Chocolate Milk Stout 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit helps you brew a full-bodied, smooth stout with rich chocolate flavor, gentle sweetness from lactose, and a roasted malt backbone that’s ready to drink in about five weeks.

  • Ready to drink in about 5 weeks
  • Sweet stout with chocolate and roasted malt character
  • Includes lactose and cacao nibs for creamy sweetness

✅ Beginner-friendly with step-by-step brewing support

The Chocolate Milk Stout is a full-bodied, smooth stout with layered chocolate and roasted malt character. Raw cacao nibs contribute deep chocolate aroma and flavor, while lactose adds creaminess and a gentle sweetness that softens the roast.

Balanced hopping keeps bitterness in check, allowing the stout’s rich, dessert-like profile to remain smooth and approachable.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Chocolate Milk Stout at home:

  • 6.25 lb Dry Malt Extract
  • Cluster (Bittering) Hop Packet
  • Cluster (Late Bittering) Hop Packet
  • Steeping Grains
  • Lactose Sugar Packet
  • Videri Cacao Nibs Packet
  • Grain Steeping Bag
  • Your choice of yeast (dry yeast, liquid yeast, or no yeast if you have your own)

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 5-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Chocolate Milk Stout follows a traditional stout brewing process:

  • Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops according to the recipe
  • Ferment: Ferment with ale yeast until clean and stable
  • Optional Step: Add cacao nibs and lactose as directed to build chocolate flavor and creaminess
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 5 weeks

Careful handling of cacao nibs and proper fermentation temperature will help ensure smooth chocolate flavor without harsh bitterness.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
  • Fans of chocolate-forward and dessert-style stouts
  • Homebrewers who enjoy richer, malt-driven beers
  • Drinkers who prefer smooth, creamy beers with subtle sweetness

Because it’s brewed in larger volume, this kit is perfect for sharing, aging slightly, or enjoying throughout the colder months.

  • Batch Size: 5 gallons
  • ABV: ~5.5%
  • Style: Chocolate Milk Stout
  • Bitterness: Low to moderate
