Recipes – Moonlight Stout – Mike Carper

This stout recipe was put together so I would have a nice stout for fall and winter. I wanted something that was straight forward and whomever liked stouts would enjoy this beer. This is a simple and easily replicated recipe. I have swapped the Carafa II with Bairds Chocolate Malt with nice hints of chocolate. As with most stouts, it ages well if you can resist not drinking it.
