It’s another recipe kit from Brewer’s Best, but I wanna do at least a few kits like this before I branch out into making a recipe. It’s good practice for getting the process down.
It’s just called Russian Stout now.

I’ll see myself out…

it’s “federation” now, whatever that means.
Apparently though, it was really made in UK, like IPA wasn’t made in either of the Indias up until recently. UK is still kinda empire I think?

That looks phenomenal! How I got started in making my own recipes is just looking up clones of ones I like and going from there with little tweaks as needed. You definitely gotta post an update once you’ve tried your stout though!

ooh, the heavy stuff! Great for winter; I’m so happy now that I made some heavy stout a month or so ago myself. What’s your gravity here?
These kit designs are ugly as usual:
YEAST 1 Sachet
yeah, like, who cares, just whatever fungus was laying about, right? And it’s not like we could just count the live cells there…

I tried measuring it after dilution, but OG was somewhere around 1.2, when it should’ve been around 1.09. I think I didn’t dilute enough before measuring lol.
