Ingredients:





     7 lb Glenbrew Irish Stout Kit


   1/4 lb (1 cup) Flaked Barley


   1/8 lb (1/2 cup) Black Patent Malt


   1/2 oz Fuggles hop pellets


          (bittering - 60 min)


   1/2 oz Fuggles hop pellets


          (flavoring - 10 min)


     4 oz Ghirardelli unsweetened


          Chocolate


     2 c  Brewed Coffee (Monte Sano


          Blend)


     1 pk WYeast #1084 Irish Stout


          Yeast


   3/4 c  Corn sugar (bottling)






 Brew  coffee using 2 scoops coffee to 12 oz. cold water.   Steep  flaked


 barley and cracked black patent for 45 minutes. Bring 1.5 gallons  water to


 a  boil in brewpot, sparge in grains, and add  extract  and  boiling hops.


 Boil for 50 minutes. Add chocolate and flavoring hops and boil for 10 more


 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully stir in coffee. Cool and pour into


 fermenter containing 3 gallons cold (pre-boiled) water.  Pitch yeast. Rack


 to secondary when vigorous fermentation  subsides.  Bottle with 3/4 cup


 corn sugar. The "Monte Sano blend" coffee is a mild coffee (sorry I can't


 remember exactly which coffees are blended to make this) that I buy locally


 in  a coffee store. I wanted something mild for the first attempt so as not


 to overdo it. This beer turned out wonderfully black and the chocolate and


 coffee come out nicely in the aroma and flavor. In spite of the oils  in


 the  chocolate, it has a rich, creamy head that stays with it until  the


 bottom  of the glass. The low hopping rate is due to the fact that  both


 the  coffee and the chocolate add to the bitterness and I  wanted  their


 aromas to dominate this beer. It has been well received by all who  have


 tried it. I called it "Three Passions Stout" because three of my  favor-


 ite tastes (from the world of food and beverages anyway) are  chocolate,


 coffee, and stout---not necessarily in that order. I have set aside  two


 six-packs of this to see how well it ages (if I can leave it alone, that


 is).
