Potent Porter - all-grain beer kit

Potent Porter all-grain beer kit – ingredients for 23–25 litres

Potent Porter is a full-bodied porter with a complex flavour. Expect notes of liquorice, coffee and chocolate, and a smooth, cream-coloured head.

All Brewolution all-grain beer kits contain malt, hops, yeast and, where relevant, sugar and spices for a 23–25 litre brew. The kit is for homebrewers who brew with a brewing system and mash and boil from scratch.

Frequently asked questions about the Potent Porter all-grain beer kit

How strong will the beer be?

With OG 1.052 and FG 1.014, the beer ends up at about 5.1 % ABV. Bitterness is 33 IBU and colour 81 EBC.

How long should the beer ferment?

The kit is designed for 14 days of fermentation at 18–22 °C. Check with a hydrometer and wait until the reading is stable for a few days before packaging.

Why is the malt unmilled?

Milled malt starts to oxidise and lose flavour and aroma. The malt is therefore supplied whole, so you can mill it just before brewing.

What does the beer taste like?

Potent Porter has a full body with notes of liquorice, coffee and chocolate. The colour is 81 EBC, so it is a dark beer.

What else do I need?

You need equipment for mashing and boiling, a fermenter and sugar or carbonation drops for carbonation. If you do not have a malt mill, you should get one too.
