Mr. Hanky's Russian Imperial Stout Kit

Imperial Stout is the big brother to traditional stouts. Historically brewed in England for the Royal Courts of Russia, it has higher alcohol strength, more pronounced roasted taste, subtle sweetness and hop bitterness. This full-bodied stout is similar to Grant's Imperial Stout and Samuel Smith's Russian Imperial Stout. For an interesting twist try adding 3-4 pounds of raspberries. The King of Stouts, just like Mr. Hanky (the shop owner's pug) is the King of Pugs</p>This Mr. Hanky's Imperial Stout kit contains:13 lbs of Rhar 2-Row Malt or9.9 lbs Golden Light Liquid Extract3.75 lbs of Crystal 55L, Black, Victory Malts and Roasted Barley2 oz. of Liberty Pellet HopsMuslin Steeping and/or hop bagIrish Moss for Kettle Clarification/SedimentationAs with all our recipe kits, you have several options for milling, liquid or dry yeast, and with or without priming sugar.***A Yeast Starter is highly recommended for this higher gravity ale***
