Mundsy's Milk Stout 2-Gallon Beer Making Ingredient kit

Mundsy's Milk Stout — 2 Gallon Kit

Munds Park takes its name from William Madison Munds, a Kentucky-born pioneer and cattle rancher who settled the area around 1876. He and his sons Jim, John and Neil drove their herds seasonally from the warmer Verde Valley up to the cool high-country meadows at nearly 7,000 feet — the natural summer grazing land that became known as Munds Park. Jim Munds carved out the cattle trail that connected present-day Sedona to Flagstaff through these mountains, a route still followed today.

The Munds family left their name on this landscape in more ways than one. John Lee Munds is the namesake of nearby Munds Mountain, and his wife Fanny — a Willard by birth, the same family behind our Willard's English IPA — became the first woman elected to the Arizona State Legislature.

It's a good family to name a beer after. Hardworking, unpretentious, deeply rooted in this place.

Mundsy's Milk Stout is exactly that kind of beer. Lactose gives it a silky texture and rich, creamy mouthfeel that sets Milk Stout apart from drier stout styles. The deep black color comes from a blend of black patent, caramel and chocolate malts. The result is a beer that's simultaneously roasty and sweet — dark and complex but surprisingly approachable. Dessert in a glass is not far off.

No Temperature Control Required 

Our kits use a specially selected ale yeast that ferments cleanly across a remarkably wide temperature range — all the way up to 94°F — with no special equipment or monitoring required. Pitch the whole packet and let it work. Brew in July or January and it performs the same way.

The Dry Malt Difference
Our kits are made exclusively with dry malt extract. It's more expensive than liquid malt extract but it doesn't darken or pick up off flavors with age and temperature the way liquid extract does. Fresher ingredients, truer flavors — that's why we've always used it and always will.
