Muntons Gold 40 Pint Beer Kit - Imperial Stout

Arrived by Royal Mail in good time

I have brewed this before, hence why I have bought it again. This is a particularly nice stout and one I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have looked at plenty of other brewers comments and understand that some are a bit miffed with Muntons labelling that this is an Imperial Stout. I knew that this was not going to be the strength of a normal Imperial Stout and this did not deter me from purchasing it. I just read the information supplied by brew2bottle and Muntons information. So why did I buy this? I saw some reviews online and YouTube and they were favourable. I have brewed about 4 different stouts and my top ones are the Coopers Irish and now this one. I would not put a fine line between them. The Muntons is a very creamy smooth stout. I brewed this with a temperature controlled brew2bottle heat mat (I use an Inkbird) set at 21°C. I discarded the kit yeast and used Lallemand Nottingham yeast, I also used pure brew. These were the only two items that was additional to the kit that I changed. The stout was very drinkable early and one that may never reach its full potential (hic). My starting gravity was 1.050 and finished at 1.014 with approximately 4.7% abv. I brewed to 22 litres rather than 23. I do prefer it to Guinness, the communication from brew2bottle was good. Delivery was OK, I will add that Royal Mail are abysmal atm in our area and it took about 3 days later than estimated times given by RM. Not a problem as I was not desperate for it. You will not be disappointed with tis stout, just remember the abv is in the 4% area. Bagsy.

Currently brewing so cannot comment

`This I brewed for my birthday, and it was really great stout as a Guinness drinker for years I can really recommend this stout.

Can't wait to try this stout all other ales have been great will be buying many more.
