Muntons Gold Imperial Stout 3kg Home Brew Kit

Muntons Gold Imperial Stout makes a full-bodied, velvet-black stout with a distinctive dry bitterness, capped by a smooth, creamy head. All 3kg is malt extract, so no sugar is needed - just water and patience.

The beer

• Velvet black colour
• High hop level with low to medium malt, giving a dry, bitter finish
• Best served chilled, around 5°C

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.
