This full-bodied dark, malty, Imperial Porter is a truly satisfying beer, with caramel and cocoa sweetness balanced by a medium hop bitterness. Sweetness and body can be added with 1kg lactose. This Craft Beer Kit comes complete with American Ale Yeast and Chinook dry hop pellets.
For an Imperial Porter, we recommend you add: 1.5kg Brick Road Dark malt extract plus 1kg Brick Road Dark Dry malt extract (or 1kg dextrose).
Follow Brick Road and you will soon be brewing fresh beer that tastes better than commercial beer. This can contains the foundations of great beer for you to brew at home, simply and easily. You can also build your own unique recipes brick-by-brick. Brick Road searched the world to find the best maltster to create this exceptional hopped wort.
Only the finest grains are selected and malted. Malts are blended to suit the beer style, then mashed with hop extracts to create hopped wort. The fresh wort is gently reduced to 80 Brix before being canned fresh on-site to retain its original delicious malt flavours.
