Baltic Porter All Grain Kit

O.G: 1075 / Ready: 2 months

Baltic porter is a close cousin of Imperial stout. Replicating the rich, heavy stouts shipped through their countries en route to Russia, brewers from Eastern Europe and Scandinavia recreated an English beer using Continental ingredients and techniques. The result: a big beer of great complexity. Our kit spotlights massive roasty, chocolate, and toffee notes with a broad-shouldered malt character and assertive hop bitterness and flavor. The unusual use of lager yeast (ideally fermented around 65° F) leaves Baltic porters cleaner and less fruity than an Imperial stout or barley wine. Brew a batch and tell 'em St. Urho sent you.
