Black River Dry Irish Stout 20L Fresh Wort Kit
Fresh Wort Kit
20L of fresh wort to produce a rich, roasty Irish dry stout.
Black River Dry Irish Stout is your go-to for that classic pint of black. Pouring a deep, dark color with a creamy tan head, it’s packed with rich, roasted malt flavors and hints of dark chocolate and coffee. The smooth, dry finish is perfect for anyone who loves a good stout.
To get the best creamy finish, serve it with low carbonation level, we'd recommend about 1.2-1.7 volumes of CO2. Alternatively, use 75-25 cellar mix for the absolute best finish. This makes it super smooth and lets the flavors shine through, just like the best stouts you’d find in an Irish pub.
