Muntons Gold Highland Heavy Ale is a rich, dark Scottish-style heavy: a malty brew balanced by a generous helping of hops. It comes as 3kg of malt extract, so there is no sugar to add.
The beer
- Dark reddish colour
- High malt and high hop levels for a distinctive rich, bitter flavour
- Best served at cellar temperature, not chilled
You will also need
- A 25 litre fermenter, airlock and hydrometer
- ChemSan no-rinse sanitiser
- Bottles or a pressure barrel, plus Spraymalt Light or sugar for priming
How to brew it
Soften the cans in hot water, mix with 3.5 litres of boiling water, top up to 23 litres with cold water and add the yeast. Ferment at 18-20°C for 4-6 days until the gravity holds steady below 1014, then prime, keep warm for 2 days and condition somewhere cool for 14 days. Full steps: Muntons Gold instructions.
A good choice if you like a malt-forward, characterful ale with plenty of body. For extra caramel richness, steep a little Dark Crystal Malt. See the other Muntons Gold kits.
