The Vermont Maple Porter is a rich, malt-forward porter with layers of caramel, chocolate, and coffee flavor. Real Vermont maple syrup adds subtle sweetness and depth, enhancing the malt profile without overpowering it.

Northern Brewer hops contribute mild woody bitterness, balancing the beer and allowing the maple character to come through smoothly on the finish.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Vermont Maple Porter at home:

  • 16 oz Vermont Maple Syrup Bottle
  • 6.25 lb Traditional Dark Dry Malt Extract
  • Northern Brewer (Bittering & Flavor) Hop Packet
  • Caramel 60, Chocolate & Black Malts Steeping Grains
  • 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 Vermont Maple Porter follows a traditional porter brewing process with a maple syrup addition:

  • Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops according to the recipe
  • Ferment: Ferment with ale yeast until clean and fully developed
  • Optional Step: Add Vermont maple syrup during fermentation as instructed
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 5 weeks

Allowing an extra week of fermentation helps fully incorporate the maple syrup while maintaining a smooth, balanced finish.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
  • Fans of dark, malt-forward beers
  • Homebrewers who enjoy brewing seasonal or specialty styles
  • Drinkers who prefer rich, smooth beers with subtle sweetness

Because it’s brewed in larger volume, this kit is well suited for cooler-weather brewing, sharing with friends, or keeping a dark beer on hand throughout the season.
