Artisanale - Mattys Russian Imperial Stout

This is our first seasonal beer. It is a classic Bohemian or Czech Pilsner with a good malt profile, firm bitterness and pleasant hop aroma and flavour.

Artisanale - Matty's Russian Imperial Stout (16.5L)

Our friends on the other side make these kits on Speidel 500L Braumeister Brewery, they are all grain and brewed true to style.
We love a fresh wort kit, because sometimes you just don't have time or can't be bothered to make a delicious all grain brew. 
To make these fresh wort kits pop!, we do suggest a yeast starter. Either doing it per the yeast instructions, or via a magnetic stir plate yeast starter. If you're not familiar with yeast starters, please do some googling and make your beer better.
Artisanwort kits are generally designed to add 3 litres of water to the fermentation to achieve the ideal balance, you may if you wish, not add the extra water for a richer, higher gravity version.
