Bulldog Bad Cat Imperial Red is a premium craft-style home brew kit producing a deep ruby-red beer with rich caramel malt character, firm bitterness, and complex fruity depth. A genuinely impressive imperial red ale that was previously impossible to achieve from a home brew kit.
No additional sugar required. Ferment with Safale S-04, a fast-flocculating English ale strain that suits this malt-forward, higher-gravity style. Condition at least 3–4 weeks for the malt complexity to develop. Browse all: Bulldog Series.
