Kits have been discontinued, but we have the recipes for w00tstout & VandalEyes PA

Back around 2014. Wil Wheaton of Star Trek The Next Generation fame got into homebrewing. At that time he partnered with Northern Brewer to release two recipe kits VandalEyes PA and w00tstout. Since Wil has apparently stopped homebrewing as his homebrew website is currently closed. Northern Brewer has also dropped his kits from their lineup. I have both the all grain and extract versions of w00tstout that I can share with you.

w00tstout was a collaboration between Wil and Stone Brewing that was also released commercially in 2016.

More About the commercial release of w00tstout from Stone Brewing:

Drew Curtis / Wil Wheaton / Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout
This barrel-aged palate-saver has been a favorite among our fans—and us—since its inception in 2013. Pecans, wheat, flaked rye and bourbon-soaked barrels provide this whopping, complex superhero version of an imperial stout with a profound complexity that makes it ideal for cellaring—if you can wait that long. Now, we can’t say this beer bestows jedi powers, exactly, but your taste buds may just be fooled into believing as much. A special thanks to Amanda Conner, who illustrated this year’s label to support The Hero Initiative.

More About w00tstout from Northern Brewer:

One part über gravity, three parts über geek, this one-of-a-kind imperial stout from masterminds Wil Wheaton, Greg Koch (Stone Brewing) and Drew Curtis (founder, Fark.com) has been likened to drinking the booze-soaked contents of an old-fashioned candy store.
Deep and complex, w00tstout pours pitch black with a clingy cappuccino head erupting in an oaky, nutty bouquet of caramel and vanilla, roasty dark malt and a hint of bourbon.The curious creation of liquor-laced goodness packs in a whopping 13% ABV, igniting a boozy dance of rich flavors; roast and chocolate, vanilla, dark fruits, subdued molasses, oak and warming alcohol are followed by a tinge of spicy rye in the finish. Velvety carbonation softens the creamy, lingering body to balance a brew as complex as it is creative.

The Search for God and Guinness: A Biography of the Beer that Changed the World Kindle Edition

More Info

From the book description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The history of Guinness, one of the world’s most famous brands, reveals the noble heights and generosity of a great family and an innovative business.

The history began in Ireland during the late 1700s when the water in Ireland as well as throughout Europe was famously undrinkable, and the gin and whiskey that took its place was devastating civil society.

It was a disease ridden, starvation plagued, alcoholic age, and Christians like Arthur Guinness, as well as monks and evangelical churches, brewed beer that provided a healthier alternative to the poisonous waters and liquors of the times. This is where the Guinness tale began.

Now, 246 years and 150 countries later, Guinness is a global brand and one of the most consumed beverages in the world. The tale that unfolds during those two and a half centuries has power to thrill audiences today including:

the generational drama,
business adventure,
industrial and social reforms,
deep-felt faith, and the beer itself.
The Search for God and Guinness is an amazing, true story of how the Guinness family used its wealth and influence to touch millions during a dark age.

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • Our Signature Series kits offer a selection of crazy, unique beers developed by MoreBeer! customers, associates, and homebrewing legends!
  • This incredibly unique recipe leans on a smoky quality that was once a staple of old-world English porters
  • Includes Northern Brewer and Kent Goldings hops
  • Estimated ABV: 5.4%
  • Estimated IBUs: 28-34
  • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

This beer combines the richness of black malt with the old-world smokiness of Bamberg: a Franconian village that is at once worldly and yet devoted to its traditional ways. Brewed with an ale yeast, it mimics the origins of English porter, a beer made solely from brown malts dried over a direct wood fire. And since you’ll never find a beer like this at your local liquor store, you’ll have to brew it to appreciate the flavorful treats it can offer. With an astounding Two Pounds of Rauch Malt, any fan of smoked beers will fall in love with Ray’s beer! Ray recommends British Ale yeast, WLP005.

Ray began brewing in 1989 after seeing a homebrew store ad at a Chicago hamburger shack. “The first batch was pretty good,” he says, “but the second one was awful. Fortunately, I had already brewed the third batch before tasting the second, or that might have been the end of things. After tasting that beer, there was no looking back: I dove headlong into brewing and tasting and learning as much as I could about the art of brewing.” That informaton was put together in his book, “Designing Great Beers”, which has since become a must-have for any serious brewer. Over the years he has brewed more than 200 batches. When he started all-grain brewing in 1990 there weren’t many options for buying mashing equipment, so he made his own 10-gallon vertical Coleman cooler Mashtun. More than 90 percent of the 200 batches he had made over the years were produced on the homemade equipment–although now the mash tun has been retired after some unsuccessful modifications a few years back. You may now know Ray as the founder of the highly successful Cicerone Program which certifies and educates beer professionals.

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.054-58
  • SRM (Color Range): 18-19
  • IBUs: 28-34
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 5.4%

From the enduring global dominance of Guinness to exciting new craft porters to the resurgence of Russian imperial stouts, porters and stouts are among the most popular beer styles today among homebrewers and craft beer drinkers alike. In Brewing Porters and Stouts widely respected beer and brewing writer Terry Foster presents the history and development of these styles as well as the guidance and expertise necessary to successfully homebrew them yourself.

The book opens with the history of the styles, including the invention of porter in eighteenth-century England, how stouts were born from porters (stouts were originally bolder and stronger or stout porters), the development in the United Kingdom, and introduction to Ireland and eventually the United States, where they remained popular even as they fell out of favor in Britain and surged in popularity as the craft brewing revolution took hold. Foster then goes on to explore the many sub-styles of porters and stouts, providing commercial examples and showcasing some of the most exciting developments in craft brewing today, before breaking down the ingredients, including the various malts as well as special flavorings—such as vanilla, coffee, chocolate, and even bourbon—and finally the yeasts, hops, and waters that are well suited to brewing these styles. Finally, Foster provides a collection of sixty recipes—up to six for each sub-style—showcasing the variety and range of ingredients explored in the book and providing both extract and all-grain instructions.

Brewing Porters and Stouts belongs in the library of every craft beer drinker or homebrewer.

Heretic Brewing Shallow Grave Porter Kits – Direct from the Brewer Recipe! – Extract Kits from $34.39

Dark as night, the Shallow Grave Porter is the perfect beer choice for a cool, dark evening. This a big Porter with complex flavors of rich chocolate and caramel followed by a touch of warmth and a light malt sweetness that will leave you ready for the next shovelful.

When we say big, we mean big, as this beer starts with a whopping 10 lbs of malt extract. The complex malt flavors come from a blend of Black Patent, Chocolate, and Crystal malts. Cascade and Columbus hops provide a firm backbone yet a subdued hop flavor.
