Cafe Con Leche - 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

The Café Con Leche 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit allows homebrewers to create a full-size batch of rich, espresso-forward coffee stout at home. This ingredient-only kit includes pre-measured malt extract, specialty grains, whole espresso beans, lactose, hops, and yeast options to produce approximately five gallons of smooth, creamy stout. Designed for brewers who already own equipment, it provides consistent results in a traditional 5-gallon format.

This recipe delivers layered roast character balanced by moderate bitterness. Dark Dry Malt Extract and specialty grains contribute chocolate and toasted malt notes, while lactose enhances body and creates a smooth, creamy finish. Whole espresso beans add authentic coffee aroma and flavor without overpowering the malt backbone. When fermented under proper ale conditions, the beer is typically ready to enjoy in about four weeks.

The 5-gallon yield produces approximately 48–52 bottles or a full keg, making it ideal for gatherings, events, or home tap systems. Brewers may choose their preferred yeast format, allowing flexibility based on experience and fermentation preference.

To brew the recipe, users steep grains, boil with hop additions, ferment, and package by bottling or kegging. During conditioning, the stout develops its full coffee expression and creamy texture.

Designed for reliable performance and bold flavor, the Café Con Leche 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit offers an accessible way to brew a full-bodied, café-inspired coffee stout at home.
