American Stout All Grain Beer Kit

American Stout is the hoppy and bitter, bold and roasty cousin of foreign extra stout. It has noticeable coffee and bitter-sweet chocolate flavours. Our American Stout all grain beer kit is crafted from the highest quality malted grains and includes two hop additions to help balance out the intense flavours. A great brew for all grain brewers who enjoy American and European-style stouts and porters. A proper yeast starter and fermentation temperature control are highly recommended to ensure a dry enough finish. Be a dude and abide by letting this beer age until the flavours have mellowed.

Please note: Yeast is now sold separately. Strain options linked above.
