No Boil Beer? -Did It Work? (Beginner Dark Beer Recipe)

What happens when a stout and an IPA have a love child? You get a smooth, malty, slightly hoppy dark beer—and the best part? No boiling required. In this video, we walk you through how to make an incredibly simple no-boil dark beer using liquid malt extract. This beginner-friendly method skips traditional wort boiling but still delivers a flavorful, balanced brew with creamy malt character and a crisp finish. We cover everything from mixing extract and dry hopping to fermentation, bottling, and natural carbonation—with plenty of tips along the way (including our “insurance yeast” trick). If you’ve ever wanted to brew beer at home without the extra equipment or complexity, this is a great place to start. _____________________________________ Ingredients 1.5 lbs (680 g) Traditional Dark Liquid Malt Extract (CBW): https://amzn.to/48pk9J3 Water (to 1 gallon / 3.8 L total volume) 0.5 oz (14 g) Willamette hops (for dry hopping): https://amzn.to/4ePBizg 1 packet Safale US-05 yeast (or similar ale yeast): https://amzn.to/4d5y6hI OG 1.050 42 g (1.5 oz) sugar (for carbonation) _____________________________________ Star San: https://amzn.to/3SXFoKg 1 Gallon Squared Fermenter with Airlock: https://amzn.to/42tMgmH Our Favorite Pitcher: https://amzn.to/4dFWNzh TRBOS: https://amzn.to/3WROzxD Spaddle: https://amzn.to/4bM43IQ Baster: https://amzn.to/3DXs2c8 Hydrometer and Graduated Cylinder: https://amzn.to/4ow8gXz Tilt Digital Hydrometer: https://amzn.to/4njWPkv Rumble Jar: https://amzn.to/4owOwCH Auto Siphon: https://amzn.to/4cz8VRr Bottling Wand: https://amzn.to/3Ag9q5w Crown Caps: https://amzn.to/4c9ubRe Bottle Capper: https://amzn.to/3VREkcL We use the Amazon Affiliate Program for these links and we DO receive a small commission if you purchase using our links and all this comes at no additional cost to you! _____________________________________ Related Videos: Bottling: https://youtu.be/i6kiTuRuops?si=fBae9xDwnjoAMgNn Become a City Steading VIP - Click to learn more http://www.city-steading.com/vip-club _____________________________________ Want more City Steading?
