You can make a decent stout which will fit in your fermenter using a Coopers lager kit and some grain. Get 100g of roasted barley and 100g of amber crystal malt. Steep (ie. soak) the grain in 2 liters of 75 degree water for 30 minutes. Remove the grain (use a fine mesh strainer or something) and boil the liquid for a few minutes to kill any bugs. Turn off the heat and dissolve the kit of goo in the hot liquid. Put it in the fermenter, fill to 11 liters, pitch a decent yeast such as Safale S-04 and job done. This makes an OG 1.048, 44 IBU stout which is spot on for body and bitterness.
