Imperial Stout — Mangrove Jack's Build Your Own Beer Kit
Brew an Imperial Stout at home — no all-grain setup required. This ready-to-brew bundle pairs a Mangrove Jack's 6 Stout base can with a dedicated hop blend, brew enhancer and a genuine Craft Series yeast, giving you hand-built, craft-quality beer with the simplicity of a can kit. Just add water, pitch the yeast, and in a couple of weeks you'll have roughly 12 litres — about 21 pints — of 7.6% ABV Imperial Stout.
What's in the bundle
- Base: Mangrove Jack's 6 Stout can
- Hop blend: H10 Earthy — earthy, woody traditional English hops
- Brew enhancer: E3 Dark — deepens colour with roasted-malt depth
- Yeast: Mangrove Jack's M42 NW Strong Ale — a robust, high-gravity ale strain
Tasting notes
Big, black and intense — bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee and a warming, luxurious finish.
How to brew
- Sanitise all your equipment thoroughly.
- Stand the can in warm water, then empty the can and brew enhancer into your fermenter.
- Add hot water and stir to dissolve, then top up with cold water to 12 litres and mix well.
- Check the wort is around 20–24°C, then sprinkle the Craft Series yeast on top.
- Add the hop blend as directed, fit the lid and airlock, and ferment somewhere warm and stable.
- Ferment for around 1–2 weeks until the gravity is stable, then bottle or keg with priming sugar.
- Condition for at least two weeks (the longer the better), then chill and enjoy.
