"Its malty, yeasty foundation will only enhance the bread in your stuffing, while more nuanced tasting notes like citrus, coriander, pepper, and even coffee will bring more depth of flavor. While the bubbles in beer are known leavening agents for baked goods, they aren't needed to help lift stuffing. So, the best way to prepare beer for stuffing is to pour it into a measuring cup to rest so that the carbonation can dissipate."
"The best way to ensure the perfect texture for stuffing lies in balancing your ingredient ratios, both dry and wet. Traditionally, stuffing involves a ratio of 1 cup of broth for every 4 cups of dry mix, you should plan your beer swap accordingly. For a boxed stuffing mix with 8 cups of dry mix, you'll need around two cups of liquid, so you could pour anywhere from a 25-75 to 50-50 blend of beer to broth into the dried mix before baking."
Beer can replace some or all broth in boxed stuffing to add malty, yeasty, and nuanced tasting notes like citrus, coriander, pepper, or coffee. Allow poured beer to rest so carbonation dissipates and flavors concentrate before combining with dry mix. Balance wet and dry ingredients using a baseline ratio of 1 cup of broth per 4 cups of dry mix; an 8-cup dry mix requires about two cups of liquid. Use blends from 25-75 to 50-50 beer-to-broth, or replace entirely for a richer malty result. Start with neutral lagers or amber ales for balanced depth.
