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

Fool’s Gold is a golden stout that challenges expectations. Pale smoked malts and flaked oats create a full, creamy body and subtle smokiness without darkening the beer’s color.

Roasted aromas and flavors come from Ecuadorian cacao nibs and small-batch Nicaraguan coffee beans, delivering notes of chocolate, coffee, and toast while maintaining a deceptively light golden appearance.

This 1-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Fool’s Gold Golden Stout at home:

  • Pilsen dry malt extract
  • Willamette hops (bittering)
  • Goldings hops (aroma)
  • Specialty steeping grains
  • Cacao nibs
  • Coffee beans
  • Standard ale yeast
  • Grain steeping bag
  • Sanitizer packet

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 1-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Fool’s Gold highlights layered malt and adjunct flavors:

  • Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops
  • Ferment: Ferment the beer until clean and stable
  • Flavor Addition: Add cacao nibs and coffee as instructed
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

Careful timing of flavor additions ensures rich roast character without harsh bitterness.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Homebrewers who already own brewing equipment
  • Fans of stouts and coffee-forward beers
  • Brewers interested in unconventional beer styles
  • Drinkers who enjoy bold flavor with a lighter appearance

Because of its unique profile, it’s a great option for brewers looking to surprise and experiment.
