SH2B (Single Hop Best Bitter) Extract Kit

SH2B (Single Hop Best Bitter) Extract Kit
O.G: 1045 / Ready: 4-5 weeks


Best bitters occupy the territory between low-gravity, low-aclohol ordinary bitters and heavier and hoppier ESBs: they're session beers with a bit of substance. Through three kettle additions, this kit showcases the herbal, earthy, and resiny character of Fuggle hops. Brewed with all English malt (Munton's DME in the extract kit, Maris Otter in the AG version) and an ale yeast that is absolutely classic for bitters, this is a pedigreed, card-carrying pub ale. Copper in color and complex in profile, expect aromas and flavors of rich malt, fruit, toffee, biscuit, chocolate, and resiny hops. Serve in 20 oz increments in an NB Mine pint.
