Description of ๐Ÿบ Enhanced Russian Imperial Stout Homebrew Beer Ingredient Kit

intense roast flavor with a huge malt influence. touch of sweetness from the big malt character. Give this beer some time to mature and consider using an oak alternative for added complexity.

Kit is not of very good quality

The instructions were not easy and you definitely had to read between the lines to understand what to do. This kit was of very poor quality (canned extract that literally needs to be opened with a can opener, all ingredients seemed very old, seemed to have been on the shelf for a long time) compared to other kits I've used and I'm used to not sure if I can use what I've done in general. I've learned my lesson in spending more money on the best kit (like Northern Brewer). The resulting beer isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Without insurance

Good ingredients Poor quality control

I purchased this kit and when I received it and opened the box it was all in LME, the bottom of one of the LME containers was split. I contacted Revain and they gave me a full refund so I ordered another one and got the same result but this time the leak wasn't that bad and I can use the kit. Brewers Best has a quality control issue. I have used some of their kits in the past and never had a problem but if you read reviews of some of these kits you will see many complaints about theirโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Completed
Cons
  • Working speed

Let him grow old and you will be rewarded.

I brewed this beer 1.5 years ago and it came out excellent. I stored it in dogwood for a year in the basement at an average of 65ยฐC to allow it to mature and settle. After transferring to a keg to chill to 35ยฐC and carbonate at 5psi for 2 weeks I tasted the beer. I'm always shocked at the transition from one style to another and the anticipation has me waking up after more than a year. It was well carbonated with 2 volumes of CO2 and slightly sweet. Just a hint from that side, but after a fewโ€ฆ

Pros
  • I always liked it
Cons
  • I won't say anything
