It's big and bold, and outstanding. This clone is as close as you can get to the real Founder's Breakfast Stout whenever you wish, especially since Founder's is only available seasonally! Labeled an “Imperial Coffee Stout”, our version is also loaded with coffee flavor and chocolate notes. Founders uses Sumatran and Kona coffee in their classic brew, but you can choose your favorite coffee for your own personal touch.
Due to the chocolate added at the end of the boil, make sure to top up the batch volume to 5.25 gallons, as there will be quite a loss to trub in the fermenter.
The second coffee addition is 2 ounces of coarsely ground coffee, brewed with 12 ounces of water, cold brewed or cold pressed preferably. The first addition of coffee is in the boil, and the grounds can be loosely bagged in a hops bag and added at flame out, to steep in the wort.
It is recommended to do a secondary fermentation on this beer, to get it off of the trub and coffee grounds, and it can be racked onto the second coffee addition (cold brewed) at that time. If not doing a secondary, the second coffee addition can be added at bottling time.
Due to the high starting gravity of this beer, we recommend purchasing two packages of yeast or to make a yeast starter. Aerate the cooled wort thoroughly, to ensure a healthy fermentation
This kit does NOT include coffee beans or baker's chocolate
All orders containing Liquid Yeast will be shipped with a complimentary ice pack to ensure safe shipping!

Breakfast stout clone
I haven't brewed the kit yet, but all the ingredients look wonderful and it's all nicely packaged and everything is labeled very well.

Founder Breakfast Stout
Just got this one into the keg last night. So far it’s delicious. I opted to add another pound of DME to bring the ABV up to a target 8.3 like the original. Ended up with 8.5%. The other change was I didn’t add the second coffee addition as the flavor was already good. I used Starbucks Sumatra coffee and 100% Cacau Bakers

Great kit
Had a great time brewing this kit but totally forgot it doesn’t include coffee or chocolate so maybe including that in the paper recipie would be a small suggestion otherwise great kit!
